Definition
  • Established in November 2001 by Rhodri Morgan, then First Minister of NAW, by renaming the Assembly's Executive Committee. Under the Government of Wales Act 1998 the NAW was a body corporate so the phrase had no statutory meaning. However, the Government of Wales Act 2006 gave legal recognition to separation of the executive and the legislature with Ministers known collectively as the Welsh Assembly Government, which would be legally distinct from the Assembly. This took effect from the Assembly elections on 3 May 2007.
