(3)Regulations under subsection (1) may make provision for a function conferred on a responsible individual by the regulations to be delegated to another person only in prescribed circumstances but such provision may not affect the liability or responsibility of the responsible individual for exercising the function.

(4)Before making regulations under this section the Welsh Ministers must consult any persons they think appropriate.

(5)But the requirement to consult does not apply to regulations which—
