Commentary Assembly Legal Services agree with the purpose of these Regulations, as set out in the Welsh Government’s notification. As to the reasons why the Welsh Government think it is appropriate that these UK Government Regulations include devolved provisions, Members may wish to consider the following paragraph of the notification: “There is no divergence between the Welsh Government and the UK Government on the policy for the correction and the original legislation predates devolution.  Therefore, making separate SIs would lead to duplication, and unnecessary complication of the statute book. In these exceptional circumstances, the Welsh Government considers it appropriate that the UK Government legislates on our behalf in this instance.”
