The Environment Agency has determined in accordance with section 16(1) of the Act that the total number of members of the Yorkshire Regional Flood Defence Committee should be increased from thirteen to fifteen members. This Order therefore specifies the number of members of that committee who are to be appointed by each constituent council or group of councils, taking account of the increase in the total number of members. It provides for one member of the Committee to be appointed by North Yorkshire County Council in addition to the member to be appointed jointly by North Yorkshire County Council and City of York Council jointly. Section 16(7) of the Act requires the Order to be framed so that the total number of members appointed by or on behalf of constituent councils exceeds by one the number of other members. The previous order (S.I. 1996/1614) is revoked.
No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of this Order, as it has no impact on the costs of business.
