Section 27: Powers of National Assembly for Wales

115.This section makes amendments to Part 1 of Schedule 5 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (“GOWA 2006”), so as to confer enhanced legislative competence on the National Assembly for Wales in specific subject areas. Section 94 of GOWA 2006 provides that a provision of an Assembly Measure is within the Assembly’s competence if it relates to (or is incidental or consequential on provision that relates to) one or more of the matters specified in Schedule 5. Part 1 of Schedule 5 to GOWA 2006 sets out twenty fields and matters in respect of some of those fields. Assembly Measures may include any provision that could be made by Act of Parliament, subject to specific restrictions set out in Part 2 of Schedule 5 to GOWA 2006.

116.The matters added by section 27 of this Act to field 5 in Part 1 of Schedule 5 to GOWA 2006 cover a broad range but centre on post-16 education and training.
