The newest of the United Kingdom's legislative drafting offices, the (Welsh) Office of the Legislative Counsel was created in 2007 in anticipation of the coming into force of the Government of Wales Act 2006. From 2007 to 2011 the National Assembly for Wales had limited legislative competence (set out in Schedule 5 to the 2006 Act) to pass Assembly Measures. Following a referendum on 3 March 2011, the National Assembly was granted further law making powers to pass Assembly Acts on any issue related to the subjects listed in Schedule 7 to the 2006 Act.
