Children’s Commissioner for Wales Act 2001

2001 CHAPTER 18

Commentary

Section 7: Consequential, etc provision

23. Section 118 of the 2000 Act enables the Assembly to make supplementary,  consequential and other provisions when making regulations and orders under the 2000 Act. Section 118(8) enables such provision to include provision amending and repealing enactments and instruments where regulations are being made under Part 5 of the 2000 Act.  Section 7 extends section 118(8) to include orders made by the Assembly, as well as regulations.

24. The provisions of the Act, extending the scope of Part 5 of the 2000 Act (except where the Act makes express exceptions) similarly extend the existing powers of the Commissioner and of the Assembly insofar as the new provisions apply to those powers.
