Moved by
Earl Howe
284: After Clause 230, insert the following new Clause—
“Power to address conflicts with the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023
(1) The Secretary of State may by regulations amend this Act, or any Act amended by this Act, in consequence of a relevant amending provision of the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023 (“HEWA 2023”) coming into force before a provision of this Act.
(2) That power includes, in relation to an Act amended by this Act, the power to make amendments to serve in place of those contained in this Act.
(3) Amendments made in reliance on subsection (2) must produce in substance the same effect in relation to England as the amendments contained in this Act would produce if the relevant amending provision of HEWA 2023 were ignored.
(4) In this section—
“amend” includes repeal, and related terms are to be read accordingly;
a
“relevant amending provision” of HEWA 2023 means a provision of that Act that amends an enactment that—
(a) is amended by this Act, or
(b) relates to an enactment amended by this Act.”
Member's explanatory statement
This new Clause confers power to make regulations in consequence of new Welsh legislation which amends some legislation also amended by the Bill and would, if brought into force before the relevant provisions of the Bill, call for some of the changes made by the Bill to be formulated differently.
