  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the Local Government (Assistants for Political Groups) (Remuneration) (Wales) Order 2009 (the 2009 Order) to give effect to the changes to the spinal column points of salary scales for local government officers published by the National Joint Council for Local Government Services.\nThe 2009 Order linked the maximum remuneration of political assistants in local government in Wales to spinal column point 44 of the salary scale published by the National Joint Council. The National Joint Council has published new salary scales which merge certain spinal points with effect from 1 April 2019. This has the effect that point 44 becomes point 38 from 1 April 2019. This Order amends the 2009 Order to reflect the change in the spinal point and does not amend the maximum remuneration as published by the National Joint Council from time to time.\nThe Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. 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 this Order.",
