Water Act 2014

Section 55: Modification of appointment and licence conditions

203.This section provides Ofwat with a time limited power to make changes to undertakers’ conditions of appointment and water supply and sewerage licence conditions in order to implement changes made in Part 1 of this Act, including related provision made under sections 90 and 91 (consequential and transitional provisions). The changes are expected to relate mostly to the changes in water supply licensing and the introduction of the new sewerage licensing regime. Before making changes Ofwat must consult the holder of the appointment or licence, the Secretary of State, the Welsh Ministers and other appropriate persons.

204.Subsection (8) provides the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers with the power to give directions to Ofwat in order to ensure that both appointment conditions and licence conditions are modified in order to implement the changes in Part 1 of the Act and subsection (9) contains a ministerial veto for modifications. Subsection (11) sets out the cases in which the Secretary of State may exercise these powers and when the Welsh Ministers may. The exclusive competence of the Secretary of State as regards licensees reflects the split of responsibilities at the time of Royal Assent.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
