- where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.
Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.
Changes to legislation:
There are currently no known outstanding effects for the Welsh Language and Education (Wales) Act 2025, PART 4.
