The Higher Education Act 2004 (Relevant Authority) (Designation) (Wales) Regulations 2011
Made 7 March 2011
Laid before the National Assembly for Wales 8 March 2011

The Welsh Ministers, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 30 of the Higher Education Act 2004 (“the Act”) and now exercisable by them, make the following Regulations.
2004 c. 8.
The functions of the National Assembly for Wales as constituted by the Government of Wales Act 1998 (c. 38) under the Higher Education Act 2004 were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by paragraph 30(2)(c) of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
In accordance with section 30(3) of the Act, it appears to the Welsh Ministers to be expedient to amend the Act as set out in regulation 3, in connection with the designation of the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales as the relevant authority in relation to Wales.
