9 General provisions as to orders constituting port health districts, united districts and joint boards.

(1) An order made by the Minister under the foregoing provisions of this Part of this Act constituting a port health district, or a united district, or such a joint board as is mentioned in the last preceding section, may contain such incidental, consequential and supplemental provisions as appear to him to be necessary or proper for bringing the order into operation and giving full effect thereto and, in particular, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing words, provisions—

(a) for the settlement of any differences arising in consequence of the operation of the order, between districts, parishes or other areas;

(b) for the transfer of property and liabilities, and the making of any such adjustment of accounts or apportionment of liabilities between districts, parishes or other areas as may be rendered necessary by the operation of the order; and

(c) as to the persons by and to whom any moneys found to be due are to be paid, and the raising of such moneys.

(2) Any such order as aforesaid, whether or not confirmed by Parliament, may be amended or revoked by a subsequent order made by the Minister, but, where the Minister proposes to make an order under this subsection, he shall give notice thereof to the port health authority or joint board concerned and to every authority or council which is, or under the proposed order will be, a constituent authority or council, and, if within twenty-eight days after such notice has been given to any such authority, board or council they give notice to the Minister that they object to the proposal and the objection is not withdrawn, any order made by the Minister shall be provisional only and shall not have effect until it is confirmed by Parliament.

(3) Any reference in this Act to an order constituting a port health district, united district, or joint board shall be construed as including a reference to any order made under this section for the amendment of the original order.
