By virtue of the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Order 2015 (S.I. 2015/1376), article 3 and Schedule 1, sub-paragraph (t), powers under that Act exercisable by the Secretary of State concurrently with the Lord President of the Council are instead exercisable concurrently with the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. A consequential amendment to section 22(1) was accordingly made by article 10 of, and paragraph 19 of Schedule 2 to, that Order.
