Introduction

Part 7

Section 75 - Repeals, savings and consequential amendments

267.This section repeals the Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Act 2005. However:

(a)

the 2005 Act continues to apply to investigations commenced before this Act receives Royal Assent (see section 74), and

(b)

various provisions of the 2005 Act are saved and will therefore continue to have effect (for example, changes made by section 35 of the 2005 Act in relation to the conduct of local government members and employees remain in force and are not affected); subordinate legislation made under the 2005 is also saved.

268.Section 75 also introduces Schedule 5, which makes various amendments to primary legislation in consequence of this Act.
