(2) (a) An order framing a scheme under subsection (1) shall not be made until the expiration of one month after public notice of the proposal to make it has been given, in such manner as the Commissioners consider expedient and effectual for ensuring publicity thereof, in the districts in which the charity, if of a local character, is applicable, or among the persons interested therein.
(b) The notice shall—
(i) contain (so far as conveniently may be) sufficient particulars of the objects of the proposed order,
(ii) prescribe a reasonable time within which any objections thereto or suggestions thereon may be made to the Commissioners,
and the Commissioners shall consider any objections and suggestions so made to them and may act in reference thereto as they think expedient.
(c) If the Commissioners modify any proposed order it shall not be necessary for them to give notice of such modified order in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection unless they think further notice desirable.”
