You could also call this:

Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

The Minister can approve the merger of two or more Emergency Management Committees. You need to submit a proposal for a merger to the Minister in writing. This proposal must include information about the Committees that will merge, the local authorities that will be members, and how they will share costs. The proposal must also say which local authority will be in charge of the new Committee. You must provide this information before a regional emergency management plan is made. The Minister will use this information to decide whether to approve the merger.
