Schedule 5 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 may be amended to add specific 'matters' to broad subject 'fields', thereby extending the legislative competence of the Assembly and providing more policy areas in which it is possible to make Measures.

This tracking note provides an updated log of amendments, both proposed and enacted, to Field 3 of Schedule 5. This field relates to culture.
