Paragraph 6 enables a sea fish licensing authority to delegate its licensing functions, although the authority remains responsible for the exercise of any delegated function. Sub-paragraph (3) states that a public authority to which licensing functions are delegated may charge the sea fish licensing authority such fees as it considers reasonable.
	Sub-paragraph (4) confirms that this paragraph does not confer powers for the sea fish licensing authorities to make agency arrangements with each other (see section 43).
