Schedule 5 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 comprised the following:
Part 1 - Matters (this part lists the matters, and the fields within which they fall, to which a provision in an Assembly Measure must relate)
Part 2 - Exceptions to matters and general restrictions (this part lists restrictions which a provision in an Assembly Measure must not breach)
Part 3 - Exceptions from General Restrictions in Part 2 (this part sets out exceptions to which the restrictions listed in Part 2 are subject)
Up until November 2009 tables of exceptions to matters were included at the end of Part 1. These tables were added by the National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Social Welfare and Other Fields) Order 2008.
The National Assembly for Wales (Legislative Competence) (Exceptions to Matters) Order 2009 changed the heading of Part 2 to 'Exceptions to matters and general restrictions'. The Order also removed the tables of exceptions to matters from Part 1, and instead added lists of these exceptions to Part 2. These additions to Part 2 are shown below under the heading
Schedule 5: Assembly Measures: Part 2: Exceptions to matters and general restrictions.
The same Order also made minor consequential amendments to Part 3.
Further proposed amendments to Part 2 and Part 3 can also be seen below.
When any such proposed amendments come into force, these were also added to our version of Schedule 5 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (as amended).
