National Assembly for Wales

Assembly powers tracking notes

Schedule 5 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 may be amended to add specific 'Matters' to broad subject 'Fields', thereby extending the legislative competence of the Assembly and providing more policy areas in which it is possible to make Measures.

These tracking notes are produced by the Members' Research Service, and provide an updated log of amendments, both proposed and enacted, to Schedule 5.

Matters are grouped chronologically according to the legislation that has amended, or proposes to amend, Schedule 5.

The Notes are updated regularly. We apologise that these tracking notes are only available in English at the moment.

In accordance with the National Assembly for Wales Welsh Language Scheme, documents that are not primarily drafted for use by the public, are generally produced in English only. Nonetheless, we endeavour to make some Members' Research Service publications available in Welsh also after taking account of their subject matter, length and life span.
