Regulation 4 Power to make an exit application

A relevant undertaker whose area is wholly or mainly in England may apply to the Secretary of State for permission to withdraw from the non-household retail market in relation to that area.

A company that is both a water undertaker for an area wholly or mainly in England and a sewerage undertaker for an area wholly or mainly in England may make an application only if it relates to the undertaker’s functions in both those capacities.
