If the appropriate national authority considers that a network management authority may be failing properly to perform any of their duties under sections 16 and 17 it may give a notice stating that it is of that opinion (an “intervention notice”) to the authority.

An intervention notice must—
a
give brief particulars of the grounds for giving the notice; and
b
offer the network management authority the opportunity (within a specified period) to make representations or proposals about any matter raised by the notice.
3
The notice may also require the network management authority to provide the national authority, within the period specified under subsection (2)(b), with specified information.
4
Any information specified in the notice must be information that the national authority considers will assist it in deciding what further action (if any) to take.
5
The Secretary of State shall consult the Mayor before giving an intervention notice to a London authority and, if such a notice is given, shall give him a copy of it.
