(b) to be necessary or proper in consequence of such of the provisions of any other Act passed in the same session as this Act as apply to Greater London or any authority therein or any other area or authority affected by Part I of this Act;

and nothing in any other provision of this Act shall be construed as prejudicing the generality of this subsection.

(a) with respect to the transfer and management or custody of property (whether real or personal) and the transfer of rights and liabilities ;

(b) with respect to the membership of any body so far as that membership consists of persons elected by, or appointed by or on the nomination of—

(c) for applying, amending or repealing or revoking, with or without savings, any Act passed or any instrument under an Act made before 1st April 1965;

(e) for any of the matters specified in section 148(1)(a) to (h) and (2) of the Local Government Act 1933 ;

(f) for anything duly done before 1st April 1965 by any authority in the exercise of functions which on and after that date became functions of some other authority to be deemed as from that date to have been duly done by that other authority, and for any instrument made before that date, if or so far as it was made in the exercise of those functions, to continue in force on and after that date until varied or revoked in the exercise of those functions by that other authority.

(3) The provision which may be made by virtue of paragraph (e) of the last foregoing subsection shall include the making, in relation to any association mentioned in section 2 of the Auxiliary Forces Act 1953, of the like provision as may be made in relation to a public body under section 148(1)(a) to (h) of the Local Government Act 1933, including provision for continuing in existence any such association and the area for which it is established or authorising the establishment of any such association under the said Act of 1953 for the whole or any part of Greater London and in either case for the appointment of a president and vice-president of any such association.

(4) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this section, the Minister shall not make an order under this section (or this section as extended by section 87 of this Act) affecting any Act or instrument applying only to the City (with or without the Temples) or to things or persons connected therewith except after consultation with the Common Council.

(5) Section 151 of the said Act of 1933 (which relates to financial adjustments by agreement between public bodies affected by any alteration of areas or authorities made by an order under Part VI of that Act) shall apply for the purposes of this Act as if the reference to such an order included a reference to any provision of, or of any instrument made under, this Act.

(6) The provisions of Part I of this Act shall not affect the liability of any person whose name was immediately before 1st April 1965 included in a jurors book for any county or other area to serve on a jury for that area, and any such person (unless duly exempted or excused) shall, so long as the jurors book in which his name was then included remains in force for any area affected by the said Part I, continue to be liable to serve on a jury for that area.
