parliament
in 2006 the government of wales act gained royal assent meaning that from may 2007 the queen would have the new legal identity of "her majesty in right of wales" and would for the first time appoint welsh ministers and sign welsh orders in council. it also made provision for a future referendum to ask the welsh people if they would like the welsh assembly to gain the power to pass primary legislation e.g. to make true welsh laws. a referendum on extending the law-making powers of the national assembly was accordingly held on 3 march 2011. it asked the question: "do you want the assembly now to be able to make laws on "all" matters in the 20 subject areas it has powers for?" the result of the vote was that 63.49% voted "yes", and 36.51% voted "no". consequently, the assembly is now able to make laws, known as acts of the assembly, on all matters in the subject areas, without needing the uk parliament's agreement.
modern history of wales
the legislative transfer the power of making laws to any other hands. for it being but a delegated power from the people, they, who have it, cannot pass it over to others. ... and when the people have said, we will submit to rules, and be govern'd by laws made by such men, and in such forms, no body else can say other men shall make laws for them; nor can the people be bound by any laws but such as are enacted by those, whom they have chosen, and authorised to make laws for them. the power of the legislative being derived from the people by a positive voluntary grant and institution, can be no other, than what the positive grant conveyed, which being only to make laws, and not to make legislators, the legislative can have no power to transfer their authority of making laws, and place it in other hands.
