Government Response: The Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Act 2022 (Consequential Amendments and Transitory Provision) Regulations 2026

Technical Scrutiny point 1:                     The Welsh Government can confirm that paragraph 23(2) of Schedule 4 to the Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Act 2022 (amendment of section 1(4)(g) of the Learner Travel (Wales) Measure 2008 (nawm 2)) will come into force at the same time as regulation 6 of the Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Act 2022 (Consequential Amendments and Transitory Provision) Regulations 2026.

Merit Scrutiny point 2:                              Section 2(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act 1946 read with regulation 5(a) of the Statutory Instruments Regulations 1947 (S.I. 1948/1) excepts local statutory instruments from the general requirement that statutory instruments be printed and sold. The Saint David’s Catholic College Incorporation Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/2293 (W. 171)) is certified as a local statutory instrument. It is understood that such local statutory instruments made from 2006 onwards (but not earlier) have been routinely published on legislation.gov.uk. This 2005 Order is however available through the Welsh Government’s online publications archive, and the relevant footnote will be amended, as set out below, prior to the making of the Regulations to reflect this.
