                imposed upon him under any
Ordinance—
(a)
such delegation shall not preclude the person so delegating from exercising
                    or performing at any time any of the powers or duties so delegated;
(b)
such delegation may be conditional, qualified or limited in such manner as
                    the person so delegating may think fit;
(c)
where the delegation may be made only with the approval of some person,
                    such delegation may be conditional, qualified or limited in such manner as the
                    person whose approval is required may think fit;
(d)
the delegation may be to a named person or to the person for the time being
                    holding any office designated by the person so delegating; and
