S.I. 1994/2716. The 1994 Regulations make provision for the purpose of implementing, for Great Britain, Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora. In relation to Wales, the functions of the Secretary of State under the 1994 Regulations were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales (with the exception of those under regulations 71 to 78) by article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I 1999/672).

In relation to Scotland, the functions of the Secretary of State under the 1994 Regulations were, so far as they are exercisable within devolved competence, transferred to the Scottish Ministers by section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998.
