The Welsh Assembly

Since the begining from 3 March 2011, the Welsh Assembly had changed the powers. The assembly had create laws of Welsh. For example, the health, education, social services, etc. There are about on  some subjects in these 20 devovled areas. But when they deciede the laws, it needed the UK parliament.

Also, the assembly need ask some people to pass the laws on all of the subjects in the 20 devolved areas. In the areas, they need some agreements of the UK Parliament first. There have two selction for decided the decition, they are 'yes' and ' no'. The ‘yes’ vote means that there is no longer the need for negotiation between the governments of the UK and Wales, the law-making powers should or should not be devolved to the Assembly.

The section ‘yes’ vote have also other means. It can removes the involvement of Members of the House of Commons and House of Lords in recommendation to give the Assembly the power to make laws. However, it have responsibility rests on the Welsh Government and the Members of the National Assembly to decide how to use the Assembly’s law-making powers.

The Welsh Assembly laws will no longer be called Assembly Measures after change the power. The proposed laws will now be called Bills, and published laws will be called Acts. The Measures made since 2007 will continue to be called Assembly Measures and will continue to have the same legal effect.

In the areas, the assembly has legislative ability, the Assembly can make its own laws, and the call as "Acts”. Acts may be proposed by the Welsh Government, Assembly committees, an Assembly Member or the Assembly Commission.
