Overview Schedule 2: Transitionals and savings etc Concurrent exercise of functions
3457.Sections 644 and 653 provide a clear separation of powers between the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers for bodies in England and Wales. However, where the body is a “cross-border body”, that is a body which operates both in England and Wales, these provisions preserve the concurrent exercise of functions by the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers. See article2(c) of SI 1999/672 in relation to concurrent exercise, and paragraph 3(2) of Schedule 3 to the Government of Wales Act 1998 for the definition of “cross-border body”.
