EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 107(2) of the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32) (“the 2006 Act”) provides that a Bill passed by Senedd Cymru becomes an Act on receipt of Royal Assent.
Section 115(4) of the 2006 Act provides that such a Bill receives Royal Assent when Letters Patent under the Welsh Seal signed with Her Majesty’s own hand signifying Her Assent are notified to the Clerk of the Senedd.
Sections 4(2) and 5(4) of the 2006 Act also confer power on Her Majesty to make a proclamation under the Welsh Seal in circumstances where the Presiding Officer has exercised the power in section 4(1) or 5(1) of the 2006 Act.
This Order prescribes the form of words to be used in Letters Patent signifying Royal Assent to Bills passed by Senedd Cymru and in royal proclamations made under sections 4(2) and 5(4) of the 2006 Act. It also makes provision as to the preparation and publication of those documents.
This Order revokes the previous Order made in 2011.
