Article 25 Continuity of functions transferred from Welsh Ministers to Secretary of State

Anything (including legal proceedings) which relates to a transferred function and is in the process of being done by or in relation to the Welsh Ministers immediately before the function is transferred may be continued by or in relation to the Secretary of State.

Anything done by or in relation to the Welsh Ministers in the exercise of, or otherwise in connection with a transferred function is, so far as is required for continuing its effect after the transfer of the function, to have effect as if done by or in relation to the Secretary of State.

Any reference to the Welsh Ministers (and any reference which is to be read as a reference to the Welsh Ministers) in any document relating to a transferred function is, so far as is required for giving effect to this article, to be treated as a reference to the Secretary of State.

In this article, “transferred function” means a function of the Welsh Ministers that is transferred to the Secretary of State by article 5, 7, 9(2), 13 or 14(1).
