Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 21 October 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Groundwater (England and Wales) Regulations 2009.


Groundwater (England and Wales) Regulations 2009

I wonder whether I can have one final bite at the review business. The Minister says that we are within a four-year review period that ends on 22 December 2012. Regulation 12(2) seems to say that all the existing permits must be reviewed between the coming into force of the regulations and that date, 22 December 2012. Is the Minister saying that in practice, reviews that have taken place during the past year—because we appear to be about one year into the four-year review period—will be counted, regardless of what the regulations say?
