Whereas, having resolved to exercise the powers conferred upon her by section 14 of and Schedule 4 to the Environment Act 1995 for the purposes of —
(1) abolishing the regional flood defence committee referred to in article 2 of this Order; and
(2) establishing three new regional flood defence committees for the area of the committee defined in that article (“the New Committees”);
the Secretary of State considers that, in relation to the appointment of members of the New Committees by the constituent councils of those committees—
(a) it is inappropriate that the council of any county in relation to which an entry “none” appears in column (2) of the Schedule to this Order should appoint a member of the committee; and
(b) one member of the committee should be appointed jointly by the councils for any county or metropolitan district in relation to which an entry “one jointly” appears in column (2) of the Schedule to this Order;
Now therefore the Secretary of State, having, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Schedule 4 to the Act, consulted such persons or representative bodies as she considered it appropriate to consult, published a notice in compliance with that paragraph and served copies of the notice and a draft of this Order upon every person carrying out functions under any enactment who appeared to her to be concerned, and, in accordance with paragraph 3 of that Schedule, considered any representations or objections duly made with respect to the draft order and not withdrawn, in exercise of the powers conferred upon her by sections 14, 16(8) and 18A of, and paragraphs 1(1) and (3), and 3(2) of Schedule 4 to, the Environment Act 1995, hereby makes the following Order:
