f1: 1996 c. 53.
f2: Functions of the Minister and Secretary of State, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999, S.I. 1999/672. The functions were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
f3: Section 114(5) provides that the Secretary of State may not make a statutory instrument containing regulations unless a draft of the regulations has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. By virtue of paragraph 34(2) of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32), the provision applies to the exercise by the Welsh Ministers of the function of making a statutory instrument containing such regulations as if any reference to either House of Parliament were a reference to the National Assembly for Wales.
