1

The Authority may—

deepen, dredge, scour or excavate any part of the navigation area; and

sell, or otherwise dispose of as it thinks fit, any material removed from any part of the navigation area in exercise of its powers under this paragraph.

4

Any dispute between the Authority and the Commissioners as to the amount which the Commissioners are obliged by sub-paragraph (3) above to pay to the Authority in respect of any dredging carried out at the request of the Commissioners shall be determined by a person appointed for the purpose—

a

by agreement between the Authority and the Commissioners; or

b

failing such agreement, by the Secretary of State.
