(3) The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision as to—

(a) the circumstances in which a person is or is not to be treated as having his home in, or in part of, any premises for the purposes of this section; and

(b) the factors which are, or are not, to be taken into account in determining the principal use of any premises for those purposes.

(4) The power to make regulations under subsection (3) above is exercisable by the Assembly (and not by the Secretary of State) in relation to premises supplied with water using the supply system of a water undertaker whose area is wholly or mainly in Wales.]
