the Wales Act

The Wales Act 2017 is a piece of legislation that enhances the powers of the Welsh Parliament, known as the Senedd. It allows Wales to have greater control over various areas, such as health, education, and local government. The Act also ensures that Welsh laws are made more easily by granting lawmakers the authority to legislate without needing explicit permission from the UK Parliament for certain issues. Additionally, it clarifies the process for future devolution and reinforces the Welsh Government's powers, reflecting a commitment to self-governance within the United Kingdom.
