Order 2010enKing's Printer of Acts of Parliament2016-09-06CONSTITUTIONAL LAWDEVOLUTION, WALESREFERENDUMSREPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLESection 103 of and Schedule 6 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c.32) (“the 2006 Act”) empowers Her Majesty, by Order in Council, to provide for the holding of a referendum throughout Wales about whether the Assembly Act provisions in the 2006 Act should come into force. The Assembly Act provisions are sections 107, 108 and 110 -115 of the 2006 Act. Those sections will be brought into force, by Order made by the Welsh Ministers, if a majority of voters in the referendum vote “yes” to the referendum question. The Assembly Act provisions provide for the legislative competence of the National Assembly for Wales to be defined by reference to Schedule 7 of the 2006 Act (rather than by Schedule 5 as currently) and for the Assembly to make laws, that can make any provision that an Act of Parliament can make provided they are within that competence. These laws will be known as Acts of the National Assembly for Wales (or Assembly Acts).SCHEDULE 3REFERENDUM RULESPART 3Action to be taken before the poll15Issue of official poll cards1
