Those functions of the Secretary of State were then transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672). By virtue of the Water Act 1989 section 141 and Schedule 17, paragraphs 1(3) and (4)(a), functions exercised separately by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Secretary of State in respect of different water authorities or water authority areas are to be exercised concurrently by them."
