Article 3 provides that functions of the 1998 Assembly specified in article 4 which would, apart from article 3, be transferred to the Welsh Ministers immediately after the end of the initial period under paragraph 30(1) of Schedule 11 to the 2006 Act, shall instead from that time be functions of the 2006 Assembly.
