A Board may make arrangements for a function which is its responsibility to be discharged either by another local authority or by that other authority’s Board or executive.

A local authority may arrange for a function which is not the responsibility of the Board to be discharged by another local authority or that other authority’s Board or executive.

Any arrangements made under this regulation are not to prevent the body that made the arrangements from exercising the functions to which they relate.

Where arrangements are made under paragraph (1) or (2) above, then, subject to the terms of the arrangements that other authority may arrange for the discharge of any of those functions by a committee, sub-committee or officer of theirs.

Where by virtue of paragraph (4) above any functions may be discharged by a committee of a local authority, then, unless that 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.

Where by virtue of paragraph (4) or (5) above any functions may be discharged by a sub-committee of a local authority, then, unless that authority or, as the case may be, that committee otherwise directs, the sub-committee may arrange for the discharge of any of those functions by an officer of the authority.
