Section 7 was amended by paragraph 10(1) and (7) of the Schedule to S.I. 1999/1756 and by paragraph 16(3) of Schedule 3 to the Food Standards Act 1999 (c.28). See section 24 of the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 for the definition of “licensing authority”. This definition was substituted by paragraph 10(1) and 11(b) of S.I. 1999/1756. The functions of Ministers, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order (S.I. 1999/1672) except insofar as exercisable in relation to matters concerning or arising from the exploration for, or production of, petroleum. Those functions are now exercisable by the Welsh Ministers by virtue of paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c.32).
