EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 5 of the National Assembly for Wales (Remuneration) Measure 2010 (“the Measure”) provides for the amendment of Schedule 1 to the Measure which contains a list of persons who are disqualified from being a member of the National Assembly for Wales Remuneration Board (“the Board”).

Section 5(1) of the Measure enables Schedule 1 to be amended (by adding or removing an office or person, or by altering the description of such an office or person) following a resolution of the National Assembly for Wales (“the Assembly”).

Subsection (2) confers a power on the Counsel General to the Welsh Assembly Government (“the Counsel General”) to give effect to the Assembly’s resolution by the making of an Order. Subsection (4) provides that the Counsel General must exercise that power as soon as is reasonably practicable after being notified in writing by the Presiding Officer that a resolution has been passed by the Assembly.

The Counsel General received written notification from the Presiding Officer on 3 April 2014 that a resolution to amend Schedule 1 to the Measure had been passed by the Assembly on 2 April 2014 (NDM5481).

Article 2 of this Order gives effect to the Assembly’s resolution by amending the list of persons who are disqualified from being members of the Board in Schedule 1 to the Measure. Members of the House of Lords and persons who were members of either of the panels appointed by the Assembly Commission to review the pay and allowances of Assembly Members in pursuance of the Assembly Commission’s resolutions of 4 July 2007 and 8 May 2008 are no longer disqualified from being members of the Board.
