LAND DRAINAGE
Made 28th May 1997
Coming into force 1st June 1997
Whereas the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food considers—
it is necessary or expedient to make an order under section 16(5) of the Environment Act 1995f1 in relation to the regional flood defence committee specified in Article 1 of this Order;
it is inappropriate that the council of any county or London borough 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
that one member of the committee should be appointed jointly by the councils for the counties of Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes.
Now, therefore, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in exercise of the powers conferred on himf2 by section 16(5) and (8) of the Environment Act 1995 and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf hereby makes the following Order:
