The British Waterways Board (Kennet and Avon Canal) (Reclassification) Order 2011
Section 104 of the Transport Act 1968 provides for the inland waterways comprised in the undertaking of the British Waterways Board to be divided into three categories: commercial waterways as specified in Part 1 of Schedule 12 to that Act, cruising waterways as specified in Part 2 of that Schedule, and “the remainder”. Section 105 of the Act imposes on the Board a duty to maintain the commercial waterways in a suitable condition for use by commercial freight-carrying vessels, and to maintain the cruising waterways in a suitable condition for use by cruising craft. Section 104(3) enables the Secretary of State by order to add to either of those Parts any inland waterway which is not a commercial waterway or a cruising waterway.
