Where the total number of members is so increased, the Minister is required by section 138(5) of the Act by Order to specify the number of members to be appointed to the committee by each of the constituent councils for the committee. The total number to be so appointed is required by section 138(6) of the Act to exceed by one the number of the other members of the committee (appointed by the Minister and the National Rivers Authority).",
