2004 c. 34. The powers conferred by section 270(4) and (5) are exercisable, as respects Wales, by the National Assembly for Wales. See the definition of the “appropriate national authority” in section 261(1) of the 2004 Act. The powers of the National Assembly for Wales under section 270(4) and (5) are transferred to the Welsh Ministers by paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32). So far as a provision of the 2004 Act confers power to make an order or regulations exercisable by the National Assembly for Wales it came into force on the passing of that Act by virtue of section 270(2)(b) of the Act.
