Paragraph 45 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
While the informal approach will probably be the main method of obtaining further information, section 19 of the Act nevertheless enables the Welsh Ministers to formally direct an authority to provide them, within a specified period, with specified information connected with any aspect of the performance of its network management duties. This power may be exercised at any time but is more likely to be used where an authority fails to provide sufficient or satisfactory information, or simply does not respond to an informal request within any period specified.
