1970 c. 40. Section 66(1) contains definitions of the expressions "the Ministers", "prescribed" and "regulations". The definition of "the Ministers" was amended by the Transfer of Functions (Wales) (No. 1) Order 1978 (S.I. 1978/272), Schedule 5, paragraph 1. Functions of "the Ministers", so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by S.I. 1999/672 and thereafter transferred to the Welsh Ministers by paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32). Section 74A was inserted by the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68), Schedule 4, paragraph 6. Back [1]
