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.
