Will the Cabinet Secretary make a statement on what he foresees to be the financial impact to amend other legislation should the Trade Union (Wales) Bill pass – to include, for example, the cost to put through secondary legislation to amend current legislation, such as the Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government | Answered on 14/02/2017
The only legislation that will be amended by the Bill is the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 and the financial impact of this is set out in the Regulatory Impact Assessment. The Bill does not include powers to make secondary legislation so there will be no amendments to the Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016 or other legislation.
