Section 53 and Schedule 3: Corresponding code in relation to Welsh devolved powers of entry

210.Section 53 introduces Schedule 3 which confers a power on the Welsh Ministers to issue a code of practice about Welsh devolved powers of entry and associated powers. The Schedule makes broadly similar provisions to those contained in sections 47 to 52. The one substantive difference between the two sets of provisions is that section 50 places a duty on the Secretary of State to publish a powers of entry code of practice, whereas under Schedule 3 the Welsh Ministers have a discretion whether or not to issue a code in respect of devolved powers of entry.
