1986 c. 5 (“the 1986 Act”). Section 22 was amended by paragraph 5 of Schedule 3 to the Agriculture Act 2020 (c. 21) (“the 2020 Act”). Section 84 was amended by paragraph 6 of Schedule 3 to the 2020 Act and S.I. 2006/2805. Relevant amendments to section 96 were made by S.I. 2002/794. See also the definition of “prescribed” and “the Minister” in Section 96 of the 1986 Act. The functions of a Minister under the 1986 Act were, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, transferred to the National Assembly for Wales (now Senedd Cymru by virtue of Section 2 of the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Act 2020 (anaw 1)) by Section 22 of the Government of Wales Act 1998 (c. 38) (now repealed) and Article 2(a) of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672).
