Paragraph 114A Company or business name suggesting connection with Welsh Assembly GovernmentF1

The repeal of section 26(2)(a) of the 1985 Act or section 2(1)(a) of the Business Names Act 1985 does not affect the operation of that provision in relation to names suggesting a connection with the Welsh Assembly Government.

In section 26(2)(a) of the 1985 Act as it has effect by virtue of paragraph (1) above, the reference to registration under that Act shall be read as a reference to registration under the Companies Act 2006 in England and Wales or Scotland.

The other provisions of the Business Names Act 1985 continue to have effect for the purposes of section 2(1)(a) of that Act as it has effect by virtue of paragraph (1) above.

Paragraphs (1) to (3) above shall cease to have effect on the coming into force of amendments of the Companies Act 2006 having the effect of extending section 54(1)(a) (company names) or, as the case may be, section 1193(1)(a) (business names) of that Act to names suggesting a connection with the Welsh Assembly Government.
