(3.) Any provisions of the Public Health Act, 1875, applied
by this Act shall, for the purposes for which they are so applied,
extend to London.
It was urged that it is undesirable that the application of the Act
to London should be subject to modification by regulations of the Local
Government Board, and especially undesirable that the Board should be
enabled to transfer by regulation the duties and powers of Sanitary
Authorities and their Medical Officer of Health to the London County
Council. It is further desirable that the lists of sources of supply, referred
to in Sub-section 2, should be forwarded to the Borough Councils as well
as to the London County Council. The Committee recommended the
Council that representations be made to H.M. Government urging
amendment of the Bill by elimination of the words empowering the
Local Government Board to transfer powers and duties of Sanitary
Authorities to the London County Council, and by inclusion of Sanitary
Authorities in Sub-Section 2 ; and that the local Members of Parliament
be asked to support such representations.
