RAILWAYS (ELECTRICAL POWER) ACT 1903 - SECT 2

Acquisition of land for electrical works.

2.(1) An order under this Act may contain provisions authorising the
acquisition of land, by any railway company, for the purpose of constructing
generating stations or other electrical works, but, if power is given by order
to acquire the land otherwise than by agreement, the order shall not come into
operation, so far as it gives that power, unless confirmed by Parliament, and
the Board of Trade may bring in a Bill for confirming the order.

(2) If, while a Bill confirming any such order is pending in either House of
Parliament a petition is presented against the order, the Bill, so far as it
relates to the order, may be referred to a Select Committee or, if the two
Houses of Parliament think fit so to order, to a Joint Committee of those
Houses, and the petitioner shall be allowed to appear and oppose, as in the
case of Private Bills.
