(1) Before any new Statute or regulation or the revocation or amendment of any
existing Statute or regulation is made by the Council, the Council, where the
proposal concerns any degree or diploma or any course of study, shall submit
the proposed Statute regulation revocation or amendment to the appropriate
faculty or faculties or to the governing body or bodies thereof and to the
Academic Board for consideration and report:

Provided that-

   (a)  with respect to any matter declared by the Council to be urgent any
        new Statute or regulation or any revocation or amendment may without
        the submission thereof to the said Board or to any faculty or
        governing body or bodies thereof be made to come into force
        immediately and to have effect within a period specified therein not
        exceeding three months;





   (b)  where a proposed Statute regulation revocation or amendment adopts
        without alteration or with an alteration which is merely verbal or in
        the opinion of the Council not substantial a proposal recommended to
        the Council by the appropriate faculty or faculties or governing body
        or bodies thereof or by the Academic Board it shall not be necessary
        to submit the proposed Statute regulation revocation or amendment to
        any such 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 appropriate faculty or governing body or
        bodies thereof or 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 faculty or faculties or governing body or bodies
thereof or to the Academic Board (as the case may be) the new Statute or
regulation or the revocation or amendment may be made without such report
having been received, and for the purposes of this subsection the date of the
submission of any proposal to any faculty or governing body or bodies thereof
or to the Academic Board shall be the date on which the same is received by
the Dean of the faculty or the chairman of the Academic Board (as the case may
be).





(3) The Dean of any faculty or any officer or member of the teaching staff of
the University may at the request of the Council attend any meeting of the
Council for the purpose only of explaining any proposed Statute regulation
revocation or amendment recommended to the Council for its adoption and may
take part in any debate or discussion but shall not vote and shall retire from
the meeting when requested to do so by the Council.
