|
| | taxpayers for all or specified purposes of— |
|
| | |
| | |
| | (2) | The Secretary of State may by order provide in relation to any year of |

|
| | (4) | An order under subsection (1) or (2) may make such modifications of any |
|
| | enactment, or any other instrument or document, as the Secretary of State |
|
| | considers appropriate in connection with the provision made by the order. |
|

|
| | instrument containing it has been laid before, and approved by a |
|
| | resolution of, each House of Parliament. |
|

| | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | An individual’s tax liability may be relevant to entitlement to social security benefits or to the level |
|
| | of child support payable. This amendment enables the Secretary of State, for social security or |
|

|

| |
| | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | This amendment clarifies that Chapters 3 and 4 of Part 4A of GOWA 2006 deal with devolved |
|
| | taxes. This distinguishes devolved taxes from the local taxes (such as council tax and non-domestic |
|
| | rates) over which the Assembly already has legislative competence under paragraph 12 of Part 1 |
|
| | of Schedule 7 to that Act. |

|
| | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | This amendment and amendment 5 enable the new clause inserted by new clause NC1 to come into |
|
| | force by order of the Secretary of State if the majority of voters in a referendum held under clause |
|
| | 11 vote in favour of clauses 8 and 9 (the income tax provisions) coming into force. |
|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| | |
| Clause 19, page 22, line 8, at end insert— |

| | “(1B) | Welsh Ministers may set their own capital expenditure priorities.” |
|
| | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | This amendment would ensure that a future Welsh Government can utilise the borrowing capacity |
|
| | in order to invest in infrastructure projects that it deems a priority, and not be constricted or forced |

|
| | taxpayers for social security or child support purposes) (Welsh taxpayers for |
|
| | social security or child support purposes).” |
|
| | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | This amendment ensures that the power to make supplementary etc provision in clause 27 does not |
|
| | extend to making provision in connection with the new clause inserted by new clause NC1. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| |
|

|
| | permitted participant is designated in relation to the other possible outcome.” |
|
| | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | This amendment enables an Order in Council under clause 11 to modify the provisions of PPERA |
|
| | 2000 about designation of organisations by the Electoral Commission, and the kinds of assistance |
|
| | available to designated organisations. For example, the Commission could designate an |
|
| | organisation under section 108 of PPERA 2000 in relation to one (rather than both) of the possible |
|
