Terrenoy Laws

Another point that has been made is that there is a provision

in the Emergency (Principal) Regulations which is similar to this

provision. That is quite true, but the point about those Regulations

in that they are not part of the Law which is normally in fore6.

They are only brought into foros - and then not asocoparily the whole

of them - if a state of emergency is declared. They therefore

reprezent no substitute for a provision on the ordinary statute book

which may have the desirable effect of deterring oonduct which might

itself lead to an emergency situation.
