  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend Schedule 1 to the Legislation (Wales) Act 2019, which makes provision about the meaning of certain words and expressions when they appear in Acts of Senedd Cymru and Welsh subordinate instruments. The words and expressions are to be interpreted in accordance with Schedule 1 except so far as express provision is made to the contrary or the context requires otherwise.\nThe Regulations insert provisions into Schedule 1 about the meaning of the following expressions—\n“Equality and Human Rights Commission”;\n“National Trust”;\n“Public Accounts Committee”;\n“Sentencing Code”.\nThey also amend the definition of the “standard scale” of fines for summary offences as a consequence of the Sentencing Code (the restatement of sentencing legislation set out in the Sentencing Act 2020).\nThe Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.",
