Section 17:
Laying of orders and rules.
Every order issued under section 13 and every rule made under
section 16 shall be laid, as soon as may be after it is issued or made, before each House of Parliament
while it is in session for a total period of thirty days which may be comprised in one session or in two or
more successive sessions, and if, before the expiry of the session immediately following the session or the
successive sessions aforesaid, both Houses agree in making any modification in the order or the rule or
both Houses agree that the order or rule should not be made, the order or rule shall thereafter have effect
only in such modified form or be of no effect, as the case may be; so, however, that any such modification
or annulment shall be without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done under that order or
rule.
