General
16
(1) Where Part 1, 2 or 3 of this Schedule provides for a person to have power, on
an application made by or on behalf of any person (“the applicant”), to issue
a combined warrant that includes any warrant or other authorisation, the

application made by or on behalf of the applicant, to issue that warrant, or
to give that authorisation, as a single instrument.
(2) Where Part 1, 2 or 3 of this Schedule provides for a person to have power to

warrant containing any warrant or other authorisation that may be included
in it, provided that—
(a) the person could apply for that warrant or authorisation as a single
instrument, or
(b) the organisation on whose behalf the person is acting, or another
person who is a member of staff or an officer of the organisation or
who is otherwise acting on its behalf, could apply for that warrant or
authorisation as a single instrument.
17
(1) A combined warrant must be addressed to the person by whom, or on
whose behalf, the application for the combined warrant was made.
(2) Any reference in this Act to the person to whom a warrant is or was
addressed is to be read, in the case of a combined warrant containing such a
warrant, as a reference to the person to whom the combined warrant is or
was addressed.
18
A combined warrant must contain a provision stating which warrants or
other authorisations are included in the combined warrant.
19
Any reference in any enactment to a warrant or other authorisation of a

such a warrant or authorisation.
This is subject to any provision made by or under the following provisions
of this Schedule.
