14.—(1) Functions under Schedule 1 to the 1967 Act(1), so far as exercisable by the Welsh Ministers, are transferred to the Secretary of State.
(2) The function of the Treasury under paragraph 6(1) of Schedule 1 to the 1967 Act is exercisable free from any requirement to consult the Welsh Ministers(2).
The functions of “the Ministers” under paragraphs 6(2), 9(1) and 10(1) of Schedule 1 were, so far as exercisable by the Secretary of State in relation to Wales, transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the 1999 Order. Those functions were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the 2006 Act. So far as not transferred by the 1999 Order, the functions were transferred to the Secretary of State by articles 1, 2 and 3(5) of the 2002 Order. The effect of the 2002 Order and article 14 of this Order is that those functions become exercisable only by the Secretary of State. Functions under paragraph 7(2) of Schedule 1 were transferred only to the extent that they relate to a committee for Wales appointed under section 2(3) of the 1967 Act; see the amendments to section 2(3) and paragraph 7(2) of Schedule 1 made by article 12 of this Order, which abolish that committee.
The function of the Treasury under paragraph 6(1) was transferred to the Minister for the Civil Service by article 2(2) of the Transfer of Functions (Treasury and Minister for the Civil Service) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/269). In relation to Wales, the function was made exercisable only after consulting the National Assembly for Wales by article 5(1) of, and Schedule 2 to, the 1999 Order (see the entry in Schedule 2 relating to the 1967 Act). The function of being consulted was transferred to the Welsh Ministers by section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the 2006 Act. The entry relating to the 1967 Act in Schedule 2 to the 1999 Order is revoked by article 29(3) of this Order.
