See section 86(1A) of the 1991 Act for the meaning of “Chief Inspector of Drinking Water”. Section 86(1A) was inserted by section 57 of the Water Act 2003. The functions under section 86 (except those under subsection (1A)) were made exercisable by the National Assembly for Wales (“the Assembly”) to the same extent as the powers, duties and other provisions to which section 86 applies are exercisable by the Assembly by article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672). The functions conferred on the Assembly are exercisable by Welsh Ministers by virtue of section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c.32).
