WAG: First Minister Carwyn Jones has welcomed the Royal Approval given to the Assembly’s bid for law-making powers in three key areas – the environment, mental health & the Welsh language – and for new legislation to help children in Wales.
Three Legislative Competence Orders (known as LCOs) have been made by the Queen in Privy Council. These Orders confer law-making powers on the National Assembly. The Welsh Assembly Government will now be seeking to make new Welsh laws, called Measures, in each area.
Royal Approval was also given to the Children and Families Measure, which is designed to help protect vulnerable children and combat child poverty.
