As to consent of Local Government Board required in certain cases.

10 & 11 Vict. c. 14.

276. Where in any local Act the consent sanction or confirmation of the Lord Lieutenant, the chief secretary, or the Privy Council is required with respect to the borrowing of any money, to the giving effect to any byelaws, or to the appointment of any officer for sanitary purposes, the consent sanction or confirmation of the Local Government Board shall be required instead of that of the authorities above named.

The consent of the Local Government Board, and not that of the Treasury, shall be required to the borrowing of money for the purposes of the Baths and Wash-houses Acts.

The powers vested in or exerciseable by one of Her Majesty’s Principal Secretaries of State under the Markets and Fairs Clauses Act, 1847, so far as the same relate to Ireland, are hereby transferred to the Local Government Board, or may in Ireland be exercised by the Local Government Board.

If any question arises as to what are sanitary purposes within the meaning of this section, the determination of the Local Government Board on such question shall be conclusive.
