Consent of Minister to acquisition, appropriation or disposal of landS
35Nothing in Part I of this Schedule shall be construed as validating any transaction whereby a local authority purported, in the exercise of a power conferred by an enactment repealed by this Act, but without the consent of the Minister then required by that enactment—
(a)to acquire land by agreement in pursuance of a contract made before 16th August 1959; or
(b)to appropriate or dispose of land before that date,
notwithstanding that the transaction could have been validly effected without that consent under the corresponding provisions of Part VI of this Act.
