        (1)         The Minister must, within 14 sitting days after the publication of a State Public Health Policy, or an amendment to a State Public Health Policy, cause a copy of the policy or the amendment (as the case may be) to be laid before both Houses of Parliament.

        (2)         If either House of Parliament—
