Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 Explanatory Notes

Section 42 – Duty to make certain service delivery standards specifically applicable

68.In the event that regulations made under section 39 provide for any service delivery standard to apply to P (and that the Welsh Ministers have made regulations under section 26(1) specifying such a standard), this section requires the Welsh Ministers to ensure that those regulations provide for service delivery standards relating to all of the activities listed in Schedule 9 to apply (if, and to the extent that, P carries out those activities).

69.However under subsection (3) if, or to the extent that

  • a standards report under section 64 indicates that it would be unreasonable or disproportionate for service delivery standards to be specifically applicable to P in relation to that activity; or

  • the Welsh Ministers think it would be unreasonable or disproportionate for service delivery standards to be specifically applicable to P in relation to that activity

then regulations under section 39 need not secure that service delivery standards are specifically applicable to P in relation to an activity specified in Schedule 9. This section also enables regulations made under section 38 to provide for other service delivery standards to apply to P.
