22. The National Park will be established under the terms set out in the designation order. A draft of that order is attached, reflecting the policy decisions described in the previous sections, and you are invited to make comments if you wish. As required by the Act, the order (including the attached maps) will be revised as necessary in the light of comments received, before being laid before the Scottish Parliament for approval. Approval is by means of affirmative resolution. This means that the order must be debated and approved by the Lead Committee (allocated by the Parliamentary Bureau). The process requires to be completed within 40 days of the order being laid before Parliament. When it is laid before Parliament, the designation order will be accompanied by a report on the consultation and changes made to the draft order in light of these. The draft order will specify the date on which the National Park is established; the current plan is for that to be on 1 April 2002.
23. Following approval of the designation order, arrangements will be made to hold direct elections to the NPA and make appointments. The provisions for direct elections will be set out in an elections order. Because the designation order has been prepared before the elections order, it has been decided to progress the consultation on the draft designation order, so as to give people as much time as possible to comment.
