Article D1 Arrangements for discharge of functions by the Authority
Subject to any express provision contained in this Order or any other enactment passed after this Order, the Authority may arrange for the discharge of any of its functions by a committee, a sub-committee or an officer of the Authority.
Where by virtue of this article any functions of the Authority may be discharged by a committee of the Authority, then, unless the Authority otherwise directs, the committee may arrange for the discharge of any of those functions by a sub-committee or an officer of the Authority and where by virtue of this article any function of the Authority may be discharged by a sub-committee of the Authority then, unless the Authority or the committee otherwise direct, the sub-committee may arrange for the discharge of any of those functions by an officer of the Authority.
Any arrangements made by the Authority or a committee under this article for the discharge of any functions by a committee, sub-committee or officer shall not prevent the Authority or committee by whom the arrangements were made from exercising those functions.
Two or more local authorities may discharge any of their functions jointly and, where arrangements are in force for them to do so,—
they may also arrange for the discharge of those functions by a joint committee of theirs or by an officer of one of them and paragraph (2) above shall apply in relation to those functions as it applies in relation to the functions of individual authorities; and
any enactment relating to those functions or to the authorities by whom or the areas in respect of which they are to be discharged shall have effect subject to all necessary modifications in respect of its application in relation to those functions and the authorities by whom and the areas in respect of which (whether in pursuance of the arrangements or otherwise) they are to be discharged.
The Authority’s functions with respect to levying or borrowing money shall be discharged only by the Authority.
References in this article and article D2 below to the discharge of any of the functions of the Authority include references to the doing of anything which is calculated to facilitate, or is conducive or incidental to, the discharge of any of those functions.
The officers who may discharge the functions of the Authority in pursuance of arrangements under paragraphs (1), (2) and (4) above shall include the Director General of NCIS, his deputy while performing the duties of the Director General and any person employed by the Authority.
Where pursuant to arrangements made by virtue of paragraph (7) above—
the Director General; or
the deputy of the Director General,
may discharge functions of the Authority, he may himself arrange for the discharge of any of those functions by a member, including a police member, of NCIS.
