(2) the constituent councils for the committee are the councils specified in column (1) of the Schedule to this Order; and
(3) the Secretary of State considers—
-
(a) it is inappropriate that the council of any county in relation to which an entry "none" appears in column (2) of the Schedule to this Order should appoint a member of the committee; and
(b) that one member of the committee should be appointed jointly by the councils for any county or metropolitan district in relation to which an entry "one jointly" appears in column (2) of the Schedule to this Order:
Now, therefore, the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred upon her by section 16(5)(a) and (8) of the Act[2] hereby makes the following Order:

1.
—(1) This Order may be cited as the Yorkshire Regional Flood Defence Committee Order 2005 and shall come into force on 1st July 2005.

Number of members of the committee to be appointed by each constituent council
2.
—(1) The number of members to be appointed to the committee by the council or councils of any county[3] or metropolitan district specified in column (1) of the Schedule shall be the number specified in the corresponding entry in column (2) of the Schedule.

(a)In accordance with section 16(7) of the Environment Act 1995, this Order has been so framed that the total number of members appointed under section 15(1)(a) and (b) of the Act is one less than the number of those appointed by or on behalf of constituent councils.
(This note is not part of the Order)
Regional flood defence committees of the Environment Agency were established by section 14 of the Environment Act 1995 ("the Act"). Section 15(1) of the Environment Act 1995 provides that each regional flood defence committee shall consist of:–
-
(a) a chairman and a number of other members appointed by the relevant Minister;
(b) two members appointed by the Agency;
(c) a number of members appointed by or on behalf of the constituent councils.
The Environment Agency has determined in accordance with section 16(1) of the Act that the total number of members of the Yorkshire Regional Flood Defence Committee should be increased from thirteen to fifteen members. This Order therefore specifies the number of members of that committee who are to be appointed by each constituent council or group of councils, taking account of the increase in the total number of members. It provides for one member of the Committee to be appointed by North Yorkshire County Council in addition to the member to be appointed jointly by North Yorkshire County Council and City of York Council jointly. Section 16(7) of the Act requires the Order to be framed so that the total number of members appointed by or on behalf of constituent councils exceeds by one the number of other members. The previous order (S.I. 1996/1614) is revoked.
No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of this Order, as it has no impact on the costs of business.
