Section 37: Extension of the Council’s functions: Great Britain

105.Section 37 allows the Secretary of State to make an order giving the Council additional functions if he thinks this is in the interests of consumers.

If the exercise of the function to be conferred might affect Wales in relation to any matter in respect of which functions are exercisable by the Welsh Ministers, then he must consult Welsh Ministers.

106.The Secretary of State may not make an order under this section which makes provision which is within the competence of the National Assembly for Wales without the consent of that Assembly. Also the Secretary of State may not make any provision under this section which is within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament.
