Anything duly done by, and any application duly made by, or any direction, authorisation or notice duly given to or by either of the old authorities shall be deemed to have been duly done by, or made by or given to or by the new authority.

Any instrument made by either of the old authorities shall continue in force until it is varied or revoked by the new authority.

Any form supplied by either of the old authorities and any form supplied by the Secretary of State relating to either of the old authorities shall continue to be a valid form in relation to the new authority until it is cancelled or withdrawn by the Secretary of State or the new authority, as if any reference contained in such a form to either of the old authorities were a reference to the new authority.
