Section 17 of the Government of Wales Act 1998 ("the Act") empowers the Secretary of State by order to limit the salary payable to a member of the National Assembly for Wales ("Assembly member") where that Assembly member is also in receipt of a salary from certain other public bodies.
This Order applies to an Assembly member who for any period is also in receipt of a salary by virtue of a resolution (or combination of resolutions) of either House of Parliament or under section 1 of the European Parliament. In such a case, the amount of salary that is payable to him under section 16 of the Act as an Assembly member is reduced for that period to one-third that would otherwise be payable. This Order does not reduce any additional salary that may be payable to him under the said section 16 during that period in his capacity as the holder of any office of the National Assembly for Wales specified in Part III of the Government of Wales Act (in particular, as presiding officer; deputy presiding officer; Assembly First Secretary or Assembly Secretary), or any office specified in the standing orders of the Assembly. Provision is made under section 16 of the said Act of 1998 for the payment of salaries to Assembly members and to holders of offices.
