12.—(1) A person (“A”) who conveys gas from any premises listed in the Schedule to a pipeline system operated by a gas transporter (“B”) is an exempt transporter in relation to such a conveyance (“a relevant conveyance”) provided A complies, as soon as is reasonably practicable, with any direction given by the Secretary of State which is relevant.

(a)which A must supply to B;
(b)which is relevant to the operation of—
(i)the pipeline system to which the gas in the particular conveyance is being, or to be, conveyed, or
(ii)a pipeline system to which some or all of that gas is being, or could be, conveyed by B; and
(c)which relates to the calorific value or total quantity of gas that, on the day following the making of the direction, is to be, or could be, conveyed by A to the pipeline system mentioned in sub-paragraph (b)(i) from the premises from which the particular conveyance is being, or to be, made.
(3) But A does not cease to be an exempt transporter in relation to a relevant conveyance by failing to comply with a relevant direction if—
(a)the Secretary of State has given A consent not to comply with the direction;
(b)A was unable to comply with the direction due to circumstances beyond A’s control; or
(c)A, the Authority and the Health and Safety Executive were not consulted by the Secretary of State on the direction before it was given.
