The National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) (Variation) Order 2000
The Order, which comes into force on 1st August 2000, is made under section 22 of the Government of Wales Act 1998. It varies the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672) by substituting in Schedule 1 to that Order a new entry for the Education Reform Act 1988. The effect of the variation is that the functions in that Act under section 218(6) and (6ZA) (so far as subsection (6ZA) relates to subsection (6)) (power to make regulations for prohibiting or restricting the employment of persons as teachers on medical or educational grounds, cases of misconduct etc) are, in relation to Wales, exercisable by both the National Assembly for Wales and the Secretary of State. Section 218(6ZA) is, prospectively, inserted by section 5(2) of the Protection of Children Act 1999.
