The Treasury, in exercise of the powers conferred on them by sections 120(3), 157 and 158(1) of the Government of Wales Act 2006(1), and after consulting the National Assembly for Wales(2), make the following Order:—

(1)

2006 c. 32; section 157(1) provides that any power of a Minister of the Crown under the Act to make an order is exercisable by statutory instrument, and section 158(1) provides that “Minister of the Crown” includes the Treasury. This Order is of UK extent but applies generally only in relation to Wales as it relates to the finances of the GOWA 1998 Assembly, the National Assembly for Wales Commission and the Welsh Ministers.

(2)

Paragraph 56 of Schedule 11 provides that until the end of the initial period (as defined in section 161(5)) section 120 has effect as if the requirement for the Treasury to consult the Welsh Ministers prior to making an order under section 120(3) were a requirement to consult the National Assembly for Wales constituted by the Government of Wales Act 1998.
