Subordinate legislation subject to other procedures

Published 08/05/2026   |   Last Updated 11/06/2026

A very small proportion of subordinate legislation made by the Welsh Ministers is subject to specific procedures set out in the enabling act. These procedures include:

(i) enhanced approval procedures (sometimes known as super-approval procedures). See for example the procedure set out in section 19 of the Public Bodies Act 2011;

(ii) the made affirmative procedure (which became the Senedd confirmation procedure from 1 January 2026). See for example the procedure set out in sections 25(2) and (3) of the Land Transaction Tax and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes (Wales) Act 2017;

(iii) the draft negative procedure (used prior to 1 January 2026). See for example the procedure set out in sections 144ZF(5) to (7) of the Water Industry Act 1991.
