Commentary on Sections Part 2 of Schedule 9  – Repeal of power to establish Joint Transport Authorities
443.Part 2 of Schedule 9 amends the Transport (Wales) Act 2006 so as to repeal the powers of the Welsh Ministers to establish joint transport authorities.

444.Paragraph 50 makes a consequential amendment to Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006.
