By virtue of section 26(1) of the 1999 Act, functions of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food under the Food Safety Act 1990 ceased to be exercisable by that Minister. Functions of “the Ministers”, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, are now exercisable by the Welsh Ministers, having been transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672), as read with section 40(3) of the 1999 Act, and then transferred to the Welsh Ministers by paragraph 30(2)(a) of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32). The functions of “the Ministers”, so far as exercisable in relation to Scotland, are now exercisable by the Scottish Ministers. These functions were transferred to them, so far as within devolved competence, by section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (1998 c. 46), as read with section 40(2) of the 1999 Act, and, so far as not transferred to them by those provisions, by the Scotland Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc.) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/849).
