(a)regulations to which paragraph 1(11) applies, or

(2)The regulations may be made without a draft of the regulations being laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the Northern Ireland Assembly if they contain a declaration that the Northern Ireland department concerned is of the opinion that, by reason of urgency, it is necessary to make the regulations without a draft being so laid and approved.

(b)in recess for more than four days, or
(c)adjourned for more than six days.
(6)If regulations cease to have effect as a result of sub-paragraph (4), that does not—

(7)The references in this paragraph to paragraph 1(11) or (12) do not include references to paragraph 1(11) or (12) as applied by paragraph 10(5) (for which see paragraph 19(7)).
