Transitional provision
77.Paragraph 3(1) requires the Welsh Ministers, when making the first set of regulations under section 49J, to set out the boundaries and names of all 16 Senedd constituencies, and whether they are a county or a borough constituency. This applies whether or not the final report on the first boundary review conducted under Part 3A of the 2013 Act determines that changes are required to be made to the Senedd constituencies. Paragraph 3(2) makes a transitional modification to the effect that the definition of the term “Senedd constituency” in section 49L(1) is to be read as referring to regulations made under paragraph 9 of Schedule 2 to the Act (following the review conducted under that Schedule) until the first set of regulations under section 49J take effect.
