Coming into force

1 April 2006

WHEREAS section 28(1)(d) of, and Part I of Schedule 4 to, the Government of Wales Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”)(1) enables the National Assembly for Wales (“the National Assembly”) to transfer to itself the statutory functions of the Ancient Monuments Board for Wales (“the Board”) currently constituted under section 22 of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 (“the 1979 Act”)(2)

AND WHEREAS the National Assembly considers that the statutory functions of the Board, being mainly to advise the National Assembly on the exercise of its functions under the 1979 Act, are mainly functions requiring advice to be given to the National Assembly itself and therefore fall within section 28(2)(a) of the 1998 Act

(1)

1998 c. 38.

(2)

1979 c. 46; the Board was originally established and constituted under section 15 of the Ancient Monuments Consolidation and Amendment Act 1913 (c. 32).
