EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note does not form part of the Order).
This Order further varies an Order made by the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries on 27th June 1912 (as amended) to establish the South Wales Sea Fisheries District.
The Order varies the constitution of the local fisheries committee for the district to provide for the withdrawal from the committee of Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council. Nevertheless, the boundaries of the Sea Fisheries District remain unchanged.
The number of representatives from each council and the amount of each council's contribution to the expenses of the committee is specified (articles 3 and 4 and the Schedule).

1966 c.38, amended by the Environment Act 1995 (c.25) section 102; see section 20(1) for the definition of "the Minister". References in the 1966 Act to a river authority should be read with the Water Act 1973 (c.37) section 33, the Water Act 1989 (c.15) section 141 and Schedule 17, paragraph 1, and the Environment Act 1995 section 105 and Schedule 15, paragraph 2.back

By S.I. 1978/272 the functions of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food under the Sea Fisheries Regulation Act 1966 were, so far as they were exercisable in relation to Wales, transferred to the Secretary of State. Those functions of the Secretary of State were then transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672). By virtue of the Water Act 1989 section 141 and Schedule 17, paragraphs 1(3) and (4)(a), functions exercised separately by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Secretary of State in respect of different water authorities or water authority areas are to be exercised concurrently by them.back
