(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends Schedule 9A to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32) (“the 2006 Act”) and comes into force on 8th January 2026.

Article 2 amends Schedule 9A to the 2006 Act in consequence of the Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Act 2024 (asc 4) and the Elections and Elected Bodies (Wales) Act 2024 (asc 5). The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales is renamed the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru by section 12 of the Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Act 2024. Section 56 of the Elections and Elected Bodies (Wales) Act 2024 abolishes the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales, and section 57 confers its functions relating to remuneration on the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru.

Schedule 9A to the 2006 Act specifies a list of devolved Welsh authorities. This Order removes the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales and the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales from that list and inserts the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary, or public sector is foreseen.
