CIVIL DEFENCE ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1950 - SECT 3

Civil defence functions of public bodies.

3.(1) Public bodies shall, for civil defence purposes, and, in particular, and
without prejudice to the generality of the preceding words, in connection with
the matters specified in paragraphs (a) to (e) of sub-section (1) of the last
preceding section, have and perform such functions as may be prescribed in
relation to them by regulations made by the Ministry.

(2) Regulations made under this section

(a) may require that, as respects the exercise of any functions conferred on
them under this section, any public body shall be bound to comply with any
directions given to them by the Ministry;

(b)may empower public bodies on whom functions are conferred under this
section to appoint committees (including joint committees) constituted in
accordance with the regulations, whether from among their own members or not,
may empower those public bodies to authorise those or other committees, or
other public bodies, to exercise all or any of those functions on their behalf
as their agents, and may exclude any of those functions from the operation of
so much of any statutory provision as would otherwise require that function,
or any question connected therewith, to be delegated to, or to stand referred
to, or to be considered or otherwise dealt with by, any particular committee
or any other authority;

(c)may empower the Ministry, where it is satisfied that a public body have
failed or refused properly to discharge any functions conferred on them under
this section, either itself to discharge those functions or to authorise or
require some other public body or person to exercise those functions;

(d)may, on such conditions, if any, as may be prescribed by the regulations,
authorise or require things to be done in contravention of, or without
compliance with, any statutory provision regulating or restricting the
carrying out of building, engineering, mining or other operations in, on, over
or under land, or the making of any material change in the use of any
buildings or other land; and

(e)may authorise the employment of personnel, and the provision, construction
or maintenance of premises and equipment, in excess of any limits imposed by
any enactment.
