Commentary on provisions of the Act Section 15: Modification by Welsh Ministers of water company’s appointment conditions etc to recover losses
Section 15 introduces new sections 16C and 16D into the 1991 Act, which have an equivalent effect to sections 12J and 12K for the purposes of water companies whose area is wholly or mainly in Wales. Sections 16C and 16D create powers and procedural requirements for the Welsh Ministers in the same terms as those created for the Secretary of State in sections 12J and 12K, although note that section 16C does not refer to the Consolidated Fund since section 120 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 has the effect of directing the sums collected to the Welsh Consolidated Fund.
