Section 28(2) of the 1998 Act provides that the National Assembly may, by Order, abolish a function of such a body instead of transferring it to another body if the function, at present, requires something to be done in relation to that other body (an example being the Board's function of advising the National Assembly, the transfer of which to the National Assembly would require the National Assembly to advise itself).

Accordingly-
(a) article 2 of this Order abolishes the Board and its functions and transfers any property, rights or liabilities of the Board to the National Assembly; and
(b) article 3 of this Order make the necessary consequential repeals and revocations of enactments.
