Part 12: Miscellaneous Section 239: Amendments of Schedule 7B to the Government of Wales Act 2006
This section makes amendments to certain general restrictions on the Senedd Cymru in relation to concurrent powers that are contained in the Government of Wales Act 2006.
	Subsection (2) adds Chapter 1 of Part 3 (planning data) and Part 6 (environmental outcomes reports) of this Act to a list of enactments that are excepted from the general rule in paragraph 8(c) of Schedule 7B to the Government of Wales Act 2006 that the Senedd Cymru cannot confer, modify or remove functions exercisable in relation to reserved authorities without the consent of an appropriate Minister of the Crown. This addition enables Welsh Ministers to make regulations under the planning data powers in Chapter 1 of Part 3 and environmental outcomes reports powers in Part 6 without this rule applying.
	Subsection (3) amends paragraph 11 of Schedule 7B to the Government of Wales Act 2006. Paragraph 11(1)(a) imposes a requirement to obtain the consent of the appropriate Minister before an Act of the Senedd may remove or modify specific functions of a Minister of the Crown that relate to water (in its broadest definition),drainage and certain marine management functions. The effect of subsection (3) is that this requirement does not apply to Acts of the Senedd, or subordinate legislation made under them by Welsh Ministers, where the function to be removed or modified was conferred by regulations made under Chapter 1 of Part 3 (planning data) or Part 6 (environmental outcomes reports).
	Subsection (4) makes technical amendments to correct numbering errors in paragraph 11(6) of Schedule 7B to the Government of Wales Act 2006 which arose from its amendment by recent Acts of Parliament. A reference to the Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Act 2023 was included in paragraph 11(6) by that Act with incorrect numbering ((ix) instead of (x)). Subsection (4) corrects this.
	The Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Act 2023 is subsequently to be repealed by the Procurement Act 2023 (section 119 and Schedule 7), which comes into force after this Act. The Procurement Act 2023 also amends paragraph 11(6) of Schedule 7B to the Government of Wales Act 2006 to insert a reference to itself. In order that the references in paragraph 11(6) are correct both before and after the Procurement Act 2023 comes into force, subsection (4) corrects the numbering of this reference and inserts a paragraph in Schedule 7 of the Procurement Act 2023 to repeal the reference to the Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Act 2023 which is inserted in paragraph 11(6) by this Act.
