        body be made to come into force immediately and to have effect within
        a period specified therein not exceeding six months;





   (b)  where a proposal adopts without alteration or with an alteration which
        is merely verbal or in the opinion of the Council not substantial a
        recommendation of the Academic Board or other person or body it shall
        not be necessary to submit the proposal to the person or body from
        which the recommendation was received; and

   (c)  this subsection shall not apply to the making of any Statute or
        regulation necessary or expedient to be made before or for the purpose
        of the constitution of the Academic Board.

(2) If any such report is not made to the Council within one month (or such
further period as the Council in any case allows) after submission of the
proposal to the appropriate persons and bodies the Statute or regulation may
be made amended or revoked without such report having been received, and for
the purposes of this subsection the date of the submission of any proposal to
the appropriate persons and bodies shall be the latest date on which the same
was submitted to the appropriate persons and bodies.

Council) may at the request of the Council attend any meeting of the Council
for the purpose of explaining any proposal recommended to the Council for its
adoption and may take part in any debate or discussion but shall not vote and
