Territorial Application: Wales
32.The Act applies generally to Wales. The Board in Welsh is to be known as Y Bwrdd Ystadegau. The powers of the new Board extend to Wales, so that, for instance, the Board will monitor the production and publication of Welsh devolved statistics and assess Welsh devolved statistics nominated by Welsh Ministers for designation as National Statistics. Welsh Ministers will have certain functions in relation to the Board, for example in relation to appointments (section 3), and the issuing of directions (section 29). The definition of Welsh devolved statistics is in section 66(3).
