Whereas the Director General of Water Services, acting pursuant to section 39(1A) of the Water Industry Act 1991(1), has arranged for such research as he considered appropriate with a view to discovering the views of a representative sample of persons likely to be affected by these Regulations and has considered the results;
Whereas the Director has made to the Secretary of State for the Environment and the Secretary of State for Wales a written application complying with section 39(2) of that Act;
