Territorial Application: Wales
11.Some provisions of the Act apply in relation to England and Wales, but much of it applies in relation to England only. The Act does however give the Assembly “framework powers” to make provision in relation to Wales on a range of local government matters. These powers are conferred by amendments to Schedule 5 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (see further the Commentary on Part 15 of the Act).
12.Parts 6 and 7 confer powers on the Welsh Ministers in respect of Best Value and Byelaws. This is explained further in the Commentary on Parts 6 and 7.
