Port health authority
From FOIwiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
FOIA Schedule I includes:
- 16 - A port health authority constituted by an order under section 2 of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984.
Section 2 provides, in part:
- (2) In this Act, subject to section 8(2) below, “riparian authority”, in relation to a port of a port, means—
- (a) any local authority whose district, or any part of whose district, forms part of, or abuts on, that port or part of a port, and
- (b) any conservators, commissioners or other persons having authority in, over or within that port or part of a port.
- (3) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Secretary of State may be order made by statutory instrument constitute a port health district ...
- (4) An order under this section constituting a port health district may either—
- (a) constitute one riparian authority the port health authority for the district, or
- (b) constitute a joint board, consisting of representatives of two or more riparian authorities, to be the port health authority for the district.
- (5) A joint board so constituted a port health authority shall be a body corporate by such name as may be determined by the order constituting the port health district:
So port health authorities constituted by section 2 come in three kinds: local authorities (which are subject to FOIA by other means), conservators/commissioners (which often aren't), and joint boards, which are newly-created bodies corporate.
