(2)If it appears to the Secretary of State that any provision of a local enactment such as is mentioned in the foregoing subsection in force immediately before the coming into operation of Part III of this Act is inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Act, or is no longer required, or requires to be amended having regard to the provisions of this Act, he may by order repeal or amend that provision as he may consider appropriate.
(3)The provisions of the First Schedule to this Act shall apply to orders made under this section.
(4)Nothing in this Act shall be construed as authorising, or as empowering the making of any order or byelaw or the granting of any authorisation so as to authorise, the discharge into any stream to which a local enactment applies of any matter the discharge of which into that stream is prohibited by that enactment, or the doing of any thing the doing of which is so prohibited, for the purpose of securing the cleanliness of that stream.
