(b)(except in so far as this Order is made for achieving objects mentioned in section 14(2A) of that Act), Ministers are satisfied that the making of this Order is desirable in the interests of securing the improvement, maintenance, or management of the harbour in an efficient and economical manner.
In accordance with section 14(2A) of that Act, the objects for achieving which this Order is made include repealing superseded, obsolete or otherwise unnecessary statutory provisions of local application affecting the harbour and consolidating any statutory provisions of local application affecting the harbour.
Notice has been published by the Council in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 10 of Schedule 3 of that Act(3).
