Clause 83 - Crown application
Water Bill [Lords]
Public Bill Committees, 21 October 2003, 9:00 am

Mr Norman Baker (Lewes, Liberal Democrat)
My point is similar to the one that I just made. In new section 27A(4), the Secretary of State reserves the right to limit the power of entry exercisable in relation to what is specified in the certificate, and I entirely understand why that might be desirable. What procedure will be followed when entry for environmental reasons would normally be deemed to be desirable but is prohibited for security reasons? What about the problem that would have necessitated entry in the first place?
