Subject to the following provisions of this Part, sections 9 to 19B of the Act shall apply on and after the order date in respect of functional work in relation to a successor authority as they would, but for the order, have applied to the transferor authority; and, in particular, as if the successor authority had prepared the written statement required by section 9(2).

Where in relation to any functional work there is more than one successor authority, the provisions applied by paragraph (1) above shall have effect in relation to that work as if the amount stated in that written statement (“the stated amount”) had been the amount which each successor authority estimate to bear the same relation to the stated amount as the value of the work falling to be carried out by them bears to the value of the whole of the work.
