1964 c.21

24.(1) The Ministry may, if it thinks fit, give advice with reference to the
treatment of any historic monument, and shall, as and when required, give that
advice with reference to the treatment of any monument which is placed under
the protection of the Ministry by virtue of a protection order.

(2) The Ministry may superintend any work in connection with any
historic monument if invited to do so by the owner, and shall superintend any
such work, whether required to do so by the owner or not, in connection with
any monument which is placed under its protection by virtue of a
protection order.

(3) Any such advice and superintendence shall be given and afforded free of
charge, except that a charge may be made for out-of-pocket expenses in the
case of monuments which have not been placed under the protection of
the Ministry by virtue of a protection order.

(4) Subject to subsection (5), the Ministry, in relation to any
historic monument of which it is not the owner or guardian, may, subject to
such conditions as it may think fit to impose, undertake, or assist in, or
defray or contribute towards the cost of, any work which, if the Ministry were
the guardian of the monument, it would be empowered to do by virtue of
section 4.

(5) The Ministry shall not exercise the powers conferred by subsection (4)
except with the consent of every person whose consent to the work would, apart
from that subsection, be required.

(6) In this section, "owner" has the same meaning as in Part II.
