- What it can't do
-
Legislates on devolved matters in Wales such as health, education, local government, transport and the environment. The Wales Act 2017 moved Wales to a reserved-powers model: anything not reserved to the UK Parliament (for example defence, immigration, most tax and the constitution) is within its competence.
