22  Parliamentary scrutiny of Plan
 (1) The Plan shall be laid before each House of the Parliament within 6 sitting days of that House after the Plan has taken effect, and, if it is not so laid before each House of the Parliament, ceases to have effect.
 (2) If either House of the Parliament, in pursuance of a motion of which notice has been given within 6 sitting days after the Plan has been laid before that House, passes a resolution disallowing the Plan or a part of the Plan, the Plan or part so disallowed thereupon ceases to have effect.
 (3) If, before the end of 6 sitting days after notice of a motion to disallow the Plan or part of the Plan has been given in a House of the Parliament:
 (a) the House of Representatives is dissolved or expires, or the Parliament is prorogued; and
 (b) at the time of the dissolution, expiry or prorogation, as the case may be:
 (i) the notice has not been withdrawn and the motion has not been called on; or
 (ii) the motion has been called on, moved and seconded and has not been withdrawn or otherwise disposed of;
the Plan shall, for the purposes of subsection (2), be taken to have been laid before the first‑mentioned House on the first sitting day of that House after the dissolution, expiry or prorogation, as the case may be.
 (4) If:
 (a) a part of the Plan (in this subsection called the later part) is disallowed; and
 (b) the later part amended or revoked another part of the Plan (in this subsection called the earlier part) that was in effect immediately before the later part took effect;
the disallowance revives the earlier part from the date of the disallowance as if the later part had not taken effect.
