FOIA Schedule I includes:

16 - A port health authority constituted by an order under section 2 of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984.

Section 2 provides, in part:

(2) In this Act, subject to section 8(2) below, “riparian authority”, in relation to a port of a port, means—
(a) any local authority whose district, or any part of whose district, forms part of, or abuts on, that port or part of a port, and
(b) any conservators, commissioners or other persons having authority in, over or within that port or part of a port.
(3) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Secretary of State may be order made by statutory instrument constitute a port health district ...
(4) An order under this section constituting a port health district may either—
(a) constitute one riparian authority the port health authority for the district, or
(b) constitute a joint board, consisting of representatives of two or more riparian authorities, to be the port health authority for the district.
(5) A joint board so constituted a port health authority shall be a body corporate by such name as may be determined by the order constituting the port health district:

So port health authorities constituted by section 2 come in three kinds: local authorities (which are subject to FOIA by other means), conservators/commissioners (which often aren't), and joint boards, which are newly-created bodies corporate.

Orders under this section:

The Common Council of the City of London is a port health authority by virtue of section 7 of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. In that capacity it's covered by paragraph 9 of FOIA Schedule I.
