Annotations

f1: The functions of the “the Minister” were, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the 1999 Order. Those functions were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the 2006 Act. So far as exercisable otherwise than in relation to Wales, the functions are exercisable by the Secretary of State: see articles 1 and 2 of the 2002 Order. The effect of the 2002 Order and article 13(1) of this Order is that those functions become exercisable only by the Secretary of State.
