Part 8: Miscellaneous and General Provisions Section 141: Amendments to Schedule 7B to the government of Wales Act 2006
Sections 50 to 54 and 89 of this Act establish powers that are exercisable concurrently by the Secretary of State and the devolved authorities. Restrictions in Schedule 7B to the government of Wales Act 2006 prevent the Senedd from removing a Minister of the Crown function that is exercised concurrently or jointly with a Minister of the Crown without the consent of the UK Government. This section would disapply the relevant restrictions in respect of the concurrent powers in the Act, by adding the Environment Act to the lists of enactments in paragraphs 9(8)(b) and 11(6)(b) of Schedule 7B. This will allow the Senedd to alter the concurrent arrangements in future without needing the UK Government’s agreement.
