(2) In the following provisions of this Article, a power falling within paragraph (1) is referred to as a “power to fix a fee” and, in relation to such a power,—
(a)“fee” includes charge;
(b)“the appropriate authority” means—
(i)if the power is exercisable by a Minister of the Crown, that Minister;
(ii)if the power is exercisable by a Northern Ireland department or head of such a department, that department or head;

(3) In relation to any power to fix a fee, the appropriate authority or any Minister of the Crown or Northern Ireland department with the consent of the appropriate authority may, by order made by statutory rule, specify functions, whether of the recipient or any other person and whether arising under any enactment, by virtue of any Community obligation or otherwise, the costs of which, in addition to any other matters already required to be taken into account, are to be taken into account in determining the amount of the fee.
(4) In relation to any functions the costs of which fall to be taken into account on the exercise of any power to fix a fee (whether by virtue of paragraph (3) or otherwise) the appropriate authority or any Minister of the Crown or Northern Ireland department with the consent of the appropriate authority may, by order made by statutory rule, specify matters which, in addition to any matters already required to be taken into account, are to be taken into account in determining those costs, and, without prejudice to the generality of the power conferred by this paragraph, those matters may include deficits incurred before as well as after the exercise of that power, a requirement to secure a return on an amount of capital and depreciation of assets.

(b)in any other case, be subject to affirmative resolution.
(6) An order under paragraph (3) or paragraph (4) has effect in relation to any exercise of the power to fix the fee concerned after the coming into operation of the order; but no earlier exercise of that power shall be regarded as having been invalid if, had the order been in operation before that exercise of the power, the exercise would have been validated by the order.
(7) In this Article—

(b)“relevant enactment” means any enactment except, in relation to a Minister of the Crown, an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom;

(e)“Northern Ireland department” includes the head of such a department;
(f)“Consolidated Fund” means the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom or of Northern Ireland, and “Exchequer” shall be construed accordingly.
