The functions of the Secretary of State under section 94 of the Water Industry Act 1991, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672) in relation to any water or sewerage undertaker whose area is wholly or mainly in Wales. Those functions are now exercisable by the Welsh Ministers by virtue of section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32)."
