Clause 9 validates an order whose validity is in doubt. Preliminary Clause 1 relates to the Bill's Short Title. Clause 2 provides that the Bill binds the Crown. Formal Co,#mations and Validations Clause 3 validates and confirms orders under the War Pensions Act 1954. Clause 4 validates and confirms an order under the Social Security Act 1964. Clause 5 validates and confirms orders under the Tariff Act 1988. Clause 6 confirms an order under the Civil Aviation Act 1990. Clause 7 confirms orders under the Commodity Levies Act 1990. Clause 8 confirms orders under the Customs and Excise Act 1996. Validation of Fisheries (Cost Recovery Leuies) Order 1997 Clause 9, for the avoidance of doubt, declares the Fisheries (Cost Recovery Levies) Order 1997 to be as valid as it would be if the consultations undertaken in relation to the order had been completed by 30 June 1997. This is because an issue has arisen in relation to the interpretation of section 266 (2) of the Fisheries Act 1996 as to whether that section requires consultation on a cost recovery levy order to be merely commenced, or both commenced and completed, in the financial year that precedes the start of the fishing year in which the order takes effect.
