The Infrastructure (Wales) Act 2024 introduced a new process for the consenting of significant infrastructure projects in Wales.
A small number of technical amendments to UK legislation outside the Senedd’s legislative competence are required as a consequence of the 2024 Act.
When issues arising from Senedd legislation require amendments to legislation beyond the Senedd’s legislative competence, the Secretary of State for Wales can make an Order under section 150 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 to amend the relevant legislation.
As such the Secretary State for Wales has laid a draft version of The Infrastructure (Wales) Act 2024 (Consequential Amendments) Order 2025 before the UK Parliament for approval.
