| Summary: |
The Secretary of State may designate any body that appears to her to represent the interests of consumers and satisfies the other criteria published by her[3] as a designated consumer body for the purpose of submitting a "super-complaint" under section 11 of the Enterprise Act 2002.
Section 27A of the Water Industry Act 1991, inserted by section 35 of the Water Act 2003, establishes the Consumer Council for Water. Section 35(3) of the Water Act 2003 abolishes the customer service committees established under section 28(1) of that Water Industry Act 1991. Those chairing the customer service committees form a non-statutory body known as the WaterVoice Council. This will also cease to exist when the customer service committees are abolished and the Consumer Council for Water is established. This Order amends the Enterprise Act 2002 (Bodies Designated to make Super-complaints) Order 2004 to reflect this.
