TRANSPORT ACT 1968

The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation

The Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, having notified the British Waterways Board that he is considering the making of an Order, under section 105(3) of the Transport Act 1968, in relation to the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation, hereby certifies that it appears to him that the imposition of any requirement on the Board in relation to the Navigation on the basis of their existing duty would result in their incurring substantial expense; and that, having regard to their financial position and their duty under section 18 of the Transport Act 1962 and section 41 of the 1968 Act, it would be unreasonable for them to bear that expense without a grant or further grant under section 43 of the 1968 Act.
An Assistant Secretary in the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions.
27th January 1998.
