1. With a view to securing uniformity as to the minimum size of mesh which may be lawfully used for taking salmon in any part of the Solway Firth, it is hereby declared that where the minimum size of mesh of nets used for taking salmon prescribed by any provision of this Act or by any byelaw in force in any part of the Solway Firth to which this Act applies is greater than that which may be lawfully used in the part of the Solway Firth to which this Act does not apply, the provision or byelaw shall have effect as if the minimum size of mesh so prescribed in relation to the part of the Solway Firth to which this Act applies were such as may be so lawfully used as aforesaid in the part of the Solway Firth to which this Act does not apply.
