(2) A county council may borrow money for the purposes of this Act under Article 22 of the Schedule to the Local Government (Application of Enactments) Order, 1898, in like manner as if those purposes were mentioned in that Article, and money borrowed under this section by a county council for the purposes of this Act shall not be reckoned as part of the total debt of such county council for the purposes of the said Article.
