(b)travel to work areas (being areas by reference to which the Secretary of State publishes unemployment statistics);
(c)any other area which has been created by, or exists or existed for the purposes of, any Act or statutory instrument (whenever passed or made);
and any order under this section may provide for any reference in the order to any named area or combination of areas to be construed as a reference to that area or combination of areas as it or they existed on a date specified in the order.”
This section has effect subject to any provision of the commencement order under section 7(1)(b) below with respect to any description of financial assistance dependent on the designation of areas under the said section 1 and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing words, nothing in the substitution effected by this section in its application to section 1(12) of the M2Derelict Land Act 1982 shall affect any orders made under section 1(7) of that Act before the substitution takes effect.

(4)Where this subsection applies in relation to an order, the instrument containing the order shall be laid before Parliament after being made and, unless the order is approved by resolution of each House of Parliament before the end of the period of 42 days beginning with the date on which it was made, it shall cease to have effect at the end of that period, but without prejudice to anything previously done under it or to the making of a new order.
(5)In reckoning for the purposes of subsection (4) above any period of 42 days no account shall be taken of any period during which Parliament is dissolved or prorogued or during which both Houses of Parliament are adjourned for more than 4 days.
