Commentary on provisions of Act Miscellaneous Section 45: Legislative competence of Senedd Cymru
This section amends the Government of Wales Act 2006 (the 2006 Act) to extend the legislative competence of Senedd Cymru to enable it to make primary legislation on matters relating to fishing, fisheries or fish health in the area of the Welsh zone beyond the seaward limit of the territorial sea (beyond 12 nautical miles from the shore). Section 158 of the 2006 Act defines the "Welsh Zone" as being the sea adjacent to Wales which is within British Fishery Limits or otherwise specified in an order made under that Act.
