Marine Licensing (Delegation of Functions) (Wales) Order 2017 (W.S.I. No. 962 (W. 245) of 2017).

This Order delegates the exercise of certain functions of the Welsh Ministers as a licensing authority under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 to the Natural Resources Body for Wales. The Order designates functions of the Welsh Ministers as licensing authority under sections 67A, 72A, 107A and 107B of the 2009 Act. It provides that the designated functions are exercisable by or in relation to the Natural Resources Body for Wales acting on behalf of the licensing authority (instead of being exercisable by or in relation to that authority). The licensing authority has the power to give directions to the Natural Resources Body for Wales with respect to the performance of the delegated functions. The delegated functions concern fees chargeable where the Welsh Ministers are the appropriate licensing authority.
