(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Local Government Finance Act 1988 gives the National Assembly for Wales power to make Regulations in relation to levying bodies which include the Committee of the South Wales Sea Fisheries District. These Regulations are made under sections 74 and 143 of the 1988 Act.
The South Wales Sea Fisheries District (Variation) Order (S.I.No.2001/1338 (W. 84)) (the Order). removed Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council from that Committee on 31st March 2001. The Committee had at that date already issued levies for the financial year 2001-2002.
These Regulations permit the South Wales Sea Fisheries Committee to issue substituted levies to its Constituent Councils and to Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council for that financial year. These new levies will replace those previously issued. In the case of Rhondda Cynon Taff the substituted levy will be nil whilst for the other councils the figures will be adjusted in line with the Order.
