Abstract

These Regulations, in line with provisions for the fluoridation of water supplies under Part 3 of the Water Industry Act 1991, impose procedural (consultation) requirements on local authorities in the exercise of their functions in relation to the consideration of proposals for new fluoridation schemes, variation or termination of existing fluoridation schemes, or the maintenance of existing fluoridation schemes. Part 3 of the Water Industry Act provides that where no other local authorities are affected by the fluoridation proposal or no other authority affected by the proposal wishes to participate in the determination of the proposal, the person who proposes must carry out a consultation on the fluoridation proposal and must decide whether to request the Secretary of State to implement the fluoridation proposal. Otherwise, the same functions will be exercised by a joint committee of the affected local authorities.
