Section 192B: Annual and other reports, Water Industry Act 1991

The Authority shall, as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year, make to the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers a report (the "annual report" for that year) on—

its activities during that year; and

the activities of the CMA during that year in respect of any references made by the Authority.

The annual report for each year shall include—

a general survey of developments in respect of matters falling within the scope of the Authority's functions;

a report on the progress of the projects described in the forward work programme for that year;

a summary of final and provisional orders made and penalties imposed by the Authority during the year;

a report on such matters relating to any relevant undertaker whose area is wholly or mainly in Wales as the Assembly may from time to time require; and

a report on such other matters as the Secretary of State may from time to time require.

The annual report for each year shall set out any general directions given by the Secretary of State under section 27(3) above.

The Secretary of State or (as the case may be) the Assembly shall consult the Authority before exercising the power under subsection (2)(d) or (e) above in relation to any matter.

The Secretary of State shall—

lay a copy of each annual report before each House of Parliament; and

arrange for the report to be published in such manner as he considers appropriate.

The Welsh Ministers shall—

lay a copy of each annual report before the Assembly; and

arrange for the report to be published in such manner as they consider appropriate.

The Authority may also prepare other reports with respect to any matter falling within the scope of its functions and may arrange for any such report to be published in such manner as it considers appropriate.

The Authority shall send a copy of each annual or other report under this section to ... the Council and the Chief Inspector of Drinking Water.

In making or preparing any report under this section the Authority shall have regard to the need for excluding, so far as that is practicable, any matter which relates to the affairs of a particular individual or body of persons (corporate or unincorporate), where publication of that matter would or might, in the opinion of the Authority, seriously and prejudicially affect the interests of that individual or body.
