(1) The Minister may enter into consultations with the appropriate Minister of a State for the purpose of formulating principles, in respect of a relevant year, relating to the making of allocations for local roads in respect of the State, in so far as such allocations relate to moneys payable under this Part, and may enter into an agreement with the appropriate Minister of the State setting out the principles so formulated.
(2) If:
(a) the appropriate Minister of a State fails to enter into consultations referred to in subsection (1) in respect of a relevant year or notifies the Minister that he does not intend to enter into such consultations; or
(b) at any time, the Minister forms the opinion that he will not be able to reach an agreement with the appropriate Minister of a State setting out the principles referred to in that subsection in respect of a relevant year;
the Minister may make a determination setting out the principles to be applied in respect of the State in respect of that year and, if he makes such a determination, he shall notify the appropriate Minister of the State accordingly.
(3) Where an agreement is entered into under subsection (1) or a determination is made under subsection (2), the Minister shall publish in the Gazette a notice of the entering into of the agreement or of the making of the determination, as the case may be, and of the terms of the agreement or of the determination, as the case may be.
