Government of Wales Bill

Yes, field 10 is on highways and transport. The matter would come under field 10 and still have the heading ““highways and transport””. The matter, as defined in the Order in Council, would sit underneath that heading. Some of confusion may arise from the way in which the Bill is set out. There is a series of headings: ““Schedule 5””, ““Assembly Measures””, ““Part 1”” and ““Matters””, but that is then followed by the list of fields. That may have caused a little confusion. I hope the hon. Lady now understands the process. I now come to the question of how more fields can be added. The hon. Lady is right to suggest that additional fields of Executive functions have been added since the 1998 Act. That has been done by a combination of primary legislation—for example, the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 transferred the Executive functions for the fire brigades in Wales to the Assembly—and the transfer of function orders, the most obvious example being that for animal health. We envisage that those processes will continue. If agreement was reached between the Government and the Welsh Assembly Government that additional competence should be given to the Assembly, those are the procedures that would be used.
