The National Rivers Authority (Levies) Regulations 1990
These Regulations confer a power on the National Rivers Authority (“the Authority”) to raise revenue, in order to meet its expenses in respect of local flood defence districts, by the issue of levies to certain local authorities in respect of the financial year 1990/91 and subsequent financial years. This power to issue levies replaces a power to issue precepts to local authorities under section 46 of the Land Drainage Act 1976.
