The Commission may make arrangements for any part of their business in any town, or in two or more towns, to be conducted on behalf of the Commission (but subject to their general control) by a committee consisting partly of persons who are not members or servants of the Commission.

It is the Commission's duty to make, in relation to the management of land held by them in any town for the purpose of being let for dwellings, arrangements under this paragraph approved by the Secretary of State, but on the first transfer by a transfer scheme (within the meaning of Part III of this Act) of any interest of the Commission in any dwellings in a new town, this sub-paragraph shall cease to have effect as regards that town.

The Commission's appointments to any committee set up by virtue of this paragraph shall be subject to the Secretary of State's approval.

Before making any appointment to a committee set up in pursuance of sub-paragraph (2) above, the Commission shall consult with the council of any district comprising a substantial part of the area for which the committee is set up.

The Commission may adopt, in addition to the common seal in general use by the Commission, such additional common seals as they think fit for use on their behalf by committees set up under this paragraph.
