charitable purposes of any property given for charitable purposes if the
aggregate value of the property to be comprised in the scheme does not exceed
five thousand pounds.

in such manner as the Ministry considers appropriate for the purpose of
bringing the proposed scheme to the attention of persons interested in the
charity, of the intention of the Ministry to make the scheme.

(3) A notice under subsection (2)

(a)shall contain particulars of the objects of the proposed schemes, so far as

sent to the Ministry.

(4) The Ministry shall consider any objections and suggestions sent to it
under subsection (3)(b) and may take such action thereon as it considers
appropriate.

(5) Subsection (2) shall not be construed as requiring the Ministry to give
any notice of any modification which the Ministry proposes to make to a scheme
prepared under this section following any objections or suggestions sent to it
under subsection (3)(b) but the Ministry may, if it thinks fit, give notice of
any such modification.

(6) The Ministry shall, within fourteen days after making a scheme under this
section, give notice of the effect thereof in such manner as the Ministry
considers appropriate for the purpose of bringing the scheme to the attention
of persons interested in the charity concerned.

property notwithstanding that that property is applicable for a charitable
purpose by virtue of a scheme made by the Court.

(8) Any person having an interest may within twenty-eight days after the date
of the first publication, in pursuance of subsection (6), of notice of the
effect of a scheme under this section, appeal to the Court in relation to the
scheme.
