Section 58: Withdrawal of compensation for undertakers
207.This section modifies section 61 of the WRA (compensation where licence modified on direction of the Secretary of State or the Welsh Ministers) to remove the right of compensation for water and sewerage undertakers when abstraction or impoundment licences are revoked or varied by either the Secretary of State or the Welsh Ministers under section 54 (following Environment Agency or Natural Resources Body for Wales proposals) or section 56 (following an application by an owner of fishing rights).
208.This section also repeals section 61A (recovery of compensation from new licence-holder) of the WRA. This is necessary because, with the removal of the right to compensation for water and sewerage undertakers, section 61A is made obsolete.
