[edit] Orders in Council and Measures
My freinds I have just read the act on the OPSI website. I would like to disagree that Orders in Council will be made as Measures. Measures are passed by the Welsh Assembly only as Orders in Council will have to be passed by the Welsh Assembly, Secretary of state for Wales and both houses of Parliament. The measure is not used to transfer powers as it is seperate from Orders in Council. Only the Orders in Council is approved by Parliament because this will be used to transfer powers to the Welsh Assembly, and then the Assembly can then pass a law of their own called a "Measure" (similar really to how the church can pass laws of their own). Though I do ask for this act to be looked over again before a re-edit of this article as I believe there are some errors here. I am sure that both houses of Parliament can intervene if the measures interferes with English law or the right to have Water in England?Amlder20
