Commentary Part 5: Integrated Transport Authorities etc. Section 98: Amendment of power to reorganise functions
248.Section 42 of the Local Government Act 1985 allows the Secretary of State to make orders providing, amongst other things, for the dissolution of a passenger transport area or removing the territory of one or more metropolitan district councils from that passenger transport area. Sections 90 and 91 provide revised powers to dissolve such transport areas or amend their boundaries. Given that, this section repeals the provisions in the Local Government Act 1985.
