London Government Act 1963

15 (1) The powers exercisable by a local authority under sections 74 (2) and 76 (1) shall be exercisable throughout Greater London by the Greater London Council to the exclusion of any other authority, except that the powers conferred by section 76 (1) (c), so far as they relate to the provision of plant or apparatus for sorting and baling waste paper collected separately from other refuse, shall be exercisable concurrently by the authority collecting the paper and the Greater London Council; and—

(a) any reference to a local authority in the said sections 74 (2) and 76 (1) shall be construed accordingly ; and

(b) any reference to a local authority in section 76 (3), so far as that subsection relates to material deposited in a place provided for the deposit of refuse, shall be construed as a reference to the Greater London Council and not to any other authority.

(2) The places provided by the Greater London Council under section 76 (1) for the deposit of refuse may be either places for the initial deposit by other local authorities in Greater London of refuse removed by those authorities or places for the final deposit of refuse, and the powers of the Greater London Council under that section shall include power—

(a) to transport refuse from the former land of place to the latter kind or to plant or apparatus provided by the Greater London Council under that section; and

(b) to sell any refuse which has been deposited at any such place or delivered to the Council under section 74 (2).

(3) It shall be the duty of a local authority in Greater London other than the Greater London Council, unless otherwise directed by the Greater London Council, to deposit at the place appointed for the initial deposit thereof all refuse removed by that authority within the district of the authority except any refuse sold by that authority under section 76 (2).

(4) If a dispute arises between the Greater London Council and any other authority in Greater London as to whether a place provided for the initial deposit of refuse from the district of that other authority is unreasonably far from that district or is unsuitable for that authority's refuse removal vehicles the dispute shall, in default of agreement, be determined by the Minister.

(5) An order under section 84 of this Act may include provisions for securing that proper arrangements are in force with respect to the removal, treatment and disposal of refuse during the period of two years beginning with 1st April 1965, and sections 74 (2) and 76 of the Public Health Act 1936 and the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall have effect subject to the provisions of any such order.
