EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend Part VI of the Children's Commissioner for Wales Regulations 2001 which make provision in relation to the functions of the Children's Commissioner for Wales ("the Commissioner").

Part VI of the Children's Commissioner for Wales Regulations 2001 makes provision for specific reports to be made by the Commissioner.

Part VI is amended in order to provide that where the Commissioner and the Commissioner for Older People in Wales discharge their functions in relation to the same matter, the Commissioner may make a joint report with the Commissioner for Older People in Wales. A similar provision applies in the Commissioner for Older People in Wales regulations 2007.

In addition, these Regulations provide that the definition of First Minister in the Regulations is amended after the initial period specified in the Government of Wales Act 2006, so as to define the First Minister as the First Minister appointed under section 46(1) of the Government of Wales Act 2006.

A Regulatory Appraisal as to the effect these regulations might have on business costs have been prepared pursuant to s.65 of the Government of Wales Act 1998 in relation to these regulations, and placed in the library of the National Assembly for Wales. Copies may be obtained from the National Assembly for Wales, Crown Buildings, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ.
