(a)is in force immediately before the transfer date;
(b)has effect in relation to an area of river, stream or estuary all or part of which is comprised in an IFC district; and
(c)is such as could be comprised in a byelaw made under section 155 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 by the IFC authority for that district,

By virtue of section 18(1) of the Sea Fisheries Regulation Act 1966 (c. 38) the Minister is able to confer on a river authority powers of a local fisheries committee in relation to rivers, streams and estuaries within a sea fisheries district. Powers exercisable by river authorities have passed to the Environment Agency (see section 2 and 55 of the Environment Act 1995 (c. 25)). References to “the Minister” are now construed as references to the Secretary of State by virtue of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Dissolution) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/794).
