b that it is desirable to transfer the jurisdiction to determine those questions from the first-mentioned tribunal to the transferee TribunalF48 either—
i to promote uniformity of decision; or
ii to use economically the services of those having experience in the valuation of land or other special qualifications; or
iii to make possible the winding up of a statutory tribunal having little work to do.
2 The foregoing subsection shall authorise a transfer of the jurisdiction conferred on a statutory tribunal by or under an Act passed after this Act unless that Act contains a direction to the contrary:
Provided that where the jurisdiction is first conferred on the tribunal by or under an Act so passed sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph (b) of the foregoing subsection shall not apply.

F525 Where the Lands Tribunal for ScotlandF53 is exercising a jurisdiction transferred to it by virtue of this section, section three of this Act shall have effect subject to the provisions of any Order in Council under this section with respect to that jurisdiction.

F57
2 The transfer to the Upper Tribunal or the Lands Tribunal for ScotlandF56 by subsection (4) of section one of this Act, or by an Order in Council under section four thereof, of any jurisdiction conferred on some other tribunal or person by an instrument made under any Act shall not be taken as affecting the power by virtue of which that instrument was made, and the provision conferring that power shall accordingly have effect as from the transfer as if it directed the jurisdiction to be exercised by the Upper Tribunal or the Lands Tribunal for ScotlandF56 as provided by or under this Act, except in so far as provision to the contrary is thereafter made in pursuance of the said power.
3 Nothing in this Act shall affect the operation of any enactment applying or giving power to apply the Acquisition of Land Act or any provision thereof in relation to the exercise of a jurisdiction not transferred by or under this Act, except that any enactment applying or giving power to apply subsection (2) of section five of that Act as aforesaid shall have the like operation in relation to section five of this Act.
