The Welsh Ministers implemented those recommendations, with modifications, by making the County of Powys (Electoral Arrangements) Order 2021(3) (the “2021 Order”) under section 37(1) of the 2013 Act.
The Welsh Ministers are satisfied that a mistake has occurred in the preparation of the 2021 Order.
