(1)Where the Welsh Ministers make, or propose to make, a statutory instrument that would otherwise be subject to two or more different Assembly procedures as a result of the subordinate legislation that it contains, whichever of those Assembly procedures is mentioned first in subsection (2) applies to the instrument (and none of the other Assembly procedures apply).
(2)In this section, “Assembly procedure” means a procedure which has the effect that—
(a)a statutory instrument (or the subordinate legislation that it contains) may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the National Assembly for Wales,
(b)a statutory instrument must be laid before the National Assembly for Wales after being made and must be approved by resolution of the National Assembly in order for the subordinate legislation that it contains to come into force or continue in force,
(c)a statutory instrument is subject to annulment in pursuance a resolution of the National Assembly for Wales,
(d)a statutory instrument must be laid before the National Assembly for Wales after being made, or
(e)a statutory instrument is not required to be laid before the National Assembly for Wales at any time.
(3)The fact that the Welsh Ministers have made subordinate legislation in a statutory instrument to which subsection (1) applies does not—
(a)prevent them making further subordinate legislation in a statutory instrument to which that subsection does not apply, or
(b)affect the Assembly procedure that applies to such an instrument.
(4)Subsection (1) does not apply to a statutory instrument containing any subordinate legislation that—
(a)is made by the Welsh Ministers under an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom or retained direct EU legislation, and
(b)applies otherwise than in relation to Wales.
