Where there is not any company or person (other than the urban authority) authorised by or in pursuance of any Act of Parliament, or any order confirmed by Parliament, to supply gas for public and private purposes supplying gas within any part of the district of such authority, such authority may themselves undertake to supply gas for such purposes, or any of them, throughout the whole or any part of their district; and if there is any such company or person so supplying gas, but the limits of supply of such company or person include part only of the district, then the urban authority may themselves undertake to supply gas throughout any part of the district not included within such limits of supply.

Where an urban authority may under this Act themselves undertake to supply gas for the whole or any part of their district, a provisional order authorising a gas undertaking may be obtained by such authority under and subject to the provisions of the Gas and Water Works Facilities Act, 1870, and any Act amending the same; and in the construction of the said Act the term “the undertakers” shall be deemed to include any such urban authority: Provided, that for the purposes of this Act the Local Government Board shall throughout the said Act be deemed to be substituted for the Board of Trade.
