SUMMARY OF THE WELSH GOVERNMENT

 (www.guardian.co.uk,2012)

        I was happy to learn that Wales had it`s own government that's good since it creates the sense of independence  making their own rules  also citizens get the freedom to air their views since their leaders are near them or  with them. The people of the wales wanted  more powers implemented in Wales for the National Assembly to make    more laws.This was approved after the 'yes' vote won on the referendum this was on 3rd March 2011.This gave them the authority to implement their own law without consulting the UK parliament.Members of the House of commons and House of Lords were not part of the law making committee instead the Welsh Government and the National Assembly`s role.They have the authority to implement law on all the 20 Fields.

  New terms were also introduced for instance, Assembly Law was changed to Assembly measures, proposed law was called Bills and enacted law called Acts.The National Assembly can make law for wales in the following areas affecting life.

01Agriculture, fisheries, forestry and rural development
