4 Drafting issues
45. We welcome the Department's
commitment to add a footnote clarifying paragraph 3 of the preamble
to reflect the fact that consent was given by the National Assembly
for Wales with effect as if it were the agreement of the Welsh
Ministers. In our view this does not amount to a material change
to the provisions of the draft Order for the purposes of s18 of
the LRRA 2006.
46. We wrote to the DCLG to highlight
a number of instances where the accuracy of the footnotes and
the Explanatory Note might be improved and the Department undertook
to make the suggested changes.[29]
47. We welcome the Department's
commitment to revise the footnotes and Explanatory Note. In our
view this does not amount to a material change to the provisions
of the draft Order for the purposes of s18 of the LRRA 2006.
48. If the Minister
decides to proceed under s18(3), we consider that the statement
laid before Parliament referred to in that subsection should include
the text of the draft Order incorporating the changes to the footnotes
and Explanatory Note so as to convey information about the small
changes incurred. If the Minister decides to proceed under s18(7),
the revisions to the footnotes and Explanatory Note can be incorporated
in a revised draft Order laid before Parliament under that subsection.
