(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—

(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:
