161: After Clause 51, insert the following new Clause— “Power of Welsh Ministers to make consequential provision(1) The Welsh Ministers may by regulations made by statutory instrument make provision that is consequential on this Act.(2) The only provision that may be made by virtue of this section is provision that would be within the legislative competence of Senedd Cymru if contained in an Act of the Senedd.(3) Regulations under this section may amend, repeal or revoke provision made by or under primary legislation passed—(a) before this Act, or(b) later in the same session of Parliament as this Act.(4) In this section “primary legislation” means—(a) an Act, or(b) an Act or Measure of Senedd Cymru.(5) A statutory instrument containing regulations under this section is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of Senedd Cymru.” Member's explanatory statement This confers a regulation-making power on the Welsh Ministers to make consequential provision that is within devolved legislative competence. The Secretary of State has an equivalent power under Clause 51.
