Co-ordination of functions of board and commission. |

In the case of a dispute or disagreement concerning a direction that is referred to the Minister under this subsection, the reference of the dispute or disagreement to the Minister shall not operate to relieve the board concerned of its obligation to comply with the direction pending the decision of the Minister in the matter. | ||
