C1SCh. 10: functions transferred (1.7.1999) by S.I. 1999/672, art. 2, Sch. 1
1(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (2) of this paragraph, a committee appointed under section 108 of this Act shall consist of—
(a)a chairman appointed by the Secretary of State as being an independent person;
(b)members appointed by the development corporation for the new town for which the committee is constituted, or, if the committee is constituted for two new towns, by the development corporations for those new towns in such proportions as the Secretary of State may by order specify;
(c)members appointed from among their number by the licensing justices for the licensing district in which is situated the area for which the committee is constituted, or, if that area is situated in more than one licensing district, by the licensing justices for those districts in such proportions as the Secretary of State may by order specify.
(2)Where the area for which a committee is constituted comprises part only of a licensing district, and it appears to the Secretary of State that, by reason of the small extent of that part of the district and having regard to its nature, the licensing justices have insufficient interest in the working of the committee to justify their representation on it, it shall not be necessary for the committee to include any licensing justice for that district.
[F1(1A)Sub-paragraph (1) above shall have effect, in a case where the Development Board for Rural Wales is responsible under the M1Development of Rural Wales Act 1976 for the development of the new town or (where the committee is constituted for two new towns) for the development of one or both of the new towns, in accordance with the following provisions, that is to say—
(a)where the committee is constituted for one new town for which the Board is responsible, sub-paragraph (1)(b) above shall apply as if the Board were the development corporation for that town;
(b)where the committee is constituted for two new towns for both of which the Board is responsible, sub-paragraph (1)(b) above shall apply as if the two towns were one town and the Board were the development corporation for that town;
(c)where the committee is constituted for two new towns for one of which the Board is responsible, sub-paragraph (1)(b) above shall apply as if the Board were the development corporation for that town.]
