Referendum result – Wales says yes.

Wales has today voted yes in the referendum on further devolved powers for the National Assembly for Wales.

This now gives Wales law-making powers in 20 devolved areas.

Before the Assembly can start making laws in these areas, the Welsh Government have to table an Order, with the approval of the Assembly, which will bring Part 4 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 into force.
