(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Local authorities in Wales are required by section 2(2) of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 to prepare and maintain a list of posts in respect of which the annual rate of remuneration is or exceeds £19,500 or such higher amount as may be specified in or determined under regulations made by the Welsh Ministers.
These Regulations, which apply to Wales, provide for that higher amount to be the amount that is from time to time fixed by the National Joint Council for Local Government Services as that applicable to spinal column point 49 on their salary scales for local government officers.
The Regulations revoke the Local Government (Politically Restricted Posts) (No 2) Regulations 1990.
The functions of the Secretary of State under section 2(2)(a) and 190(1) were, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, transferred to the National Assembly for Wales under the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672). The functions of the National Assembly for Wales under those sections were transferred to the Welsh Ministers under section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
