In 1997, the people of Wales voted yes on a referendum for the devolution from the British Government. The 1998 Government of Wales Act was approved and mandated the establishment of the Welsh Government composed of National Assembly for Wales, the First Minister and the Cabinet. In 2006, the 2nd Generation of Wales Act was enacted and established the separation of the responsibilities of the National Assembly, which serves as the legislative and the Welsh Government as the executive body. In 2011, the people of Wales voted in favor of giving additional legislative powers to the National Assembly for Wales to create laws related to 20 areas of responsibilities of the Welsh Government without seeking the approval of UK Government. <ref>[http://wales.gov.uk/about/history/devolved/?lang=en History of Devolved Government in Wales]</ref>
