Inspiration tells me that we should look at Clause 151, which refers to a relevant Welsh authority, whose functions
“are exercisable only in or as regards Wales, and...wholly or mainly devolved Welsh functions” and a cross-border Welsh authority, which is not one of the above and has functions that are exercisable
“in or as regards Wales, and...is a devolved Welsh function.”
That seems to suggest that being a devolved Welsh function makes something into a cross-border Welsh authority, if indeed it is cross-border, because that is presumably a key requirement.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
