Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order varies the provisions of the Order made by the Board of Trade on 31 March 1892 (as varied), the Order made by the Board of Trade on 5 May 1890 (as varied), the NorthEastern Sea Fisheries District Order 1986, the NorthWestern and NorthWales Sea Fisheries District Order 1986 and the Southern Sea Fisheries District Order 1989, being five Orders relating to the constitution of local sea fisheries committees, in accordance withthe amendment to section 2(2) of the Sea Fisheries Regulation Act 1966 made by section 14(5) of, and paragraph 5 of Schedule 17 to, the Water Act 1989.

The sea fisheries districts affected are respectively Devon, Kent and Essex, NorthEastern, NorthWestern and NorthWales, and Southern.

Prior to the Water Act 1989 each water authority having jurisdiction within a sea fisheries committee's district appointed a member of that committee. Following the amendment to section 2(2) of the Sea Fisheries Regulation Act 1966, the National Rivers Authority is made responsible for appointing only one member of a committee. This correspondingly increases the number of appointments made by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheriesand Foodand the Secretary of State for Wales under that section.

This Order implements that provision in the five districts affected.
