§ (1) The Local Government Board may prescribe a set of general provisions (or separate sets of general provisions adapted for areas of any special character) for carrying out the general objects of town planning schemes, and in particular for dealing with the matters set out in the Fourth Schedule to this Act and the general provisions, or set of general provisions appropriate to the area for which a town planning scheme is made, shall take effect as part of every scheme, except so far as provision is made by the scheme as approved by the Board for the variation or exclusion of any of those provisions.
§ (2) Special provisions shall in addition be inserted in every town planning scheme defining the area to which the scheme is to apply and the authority who are to be responsible for enforcing the observance, or for the execution, of the scheme (in this Part of this Act referred to as the responsible authority), and providing for any matters which may be dealt with by general provisions and otherwise supplementing the general provisions, and also for dealing with any special circumstances or contingencies for which adequate provision is not made by the general provisions, and for suspending, as far as necessary for the proper carrying out of the scheme, any statutory enactments, bye-laws, regulations, or other provisions, under whatever authority made, which are in operation in the area included in the scheme.
258§ (3) Where land included in a town planning scheme is in the area of more than one local authority, the responsible authority may be, as the Local Government Board directs, one of those local authorities, or for certain purposes of the scheme one local authority and for certain purposes another local authority, or a joint body constituted specially for the purpose by the scheme, and all necessary provisions may be made by the scheme for constituting the joint body and giving them the necessary powers and duties.
§ Provided that, except with the consent of the London County Council, no other local authority shall prepare or be responsible for enforcing the observance or for the execution of a town planning scheme under this Part of this Act as respects any land in the county of London.
§ Amendments made: In Sub-section (2), after the word "supplementing" ["and otherwise supplementing"], insert the words "excluding or varying."—[Mr. Burns.]
§ At the end of Sub-section (2) insert: "Provided that where the scheme contains provisions suspending any enactment contained in a public general Act the scheme shall not come into force unless a draft thereof has been laid before each House of Parliament for a period of not less than forty days during the Session of Parliament, and if either of those Houses before the expiration of those forty days presents an Address to His Majesty against the proposed suspension no further proceedings shall be taken on the draft without prejudice to the making of any new scheme."—[Mr. Burns.]
§ Question put, "That the Clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill."
