United Kingdom (pink).
England and Wales are both constituent countries of the United Kingdom, that together share a single legal system: English law. Legislatively, England and
Wales are treated as a single unit (see
State (law)) for the
conflict of laws. In the evolution of the UK, paradoxically
Wales has been considered a principality rather than an incorporated country, despite
Wales' moral status a separate country ethnically, culturally and politically. The
National Assembly for Wales (Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru) was finally formed in 1999, which now provides self-governing power for the Welsh, including powers to amend
English law from the U.K. Parliament. These powers were widened by the Government of Wales Act 2006, and the
Welsh Assembly Government can now propose and pass its own laws.
England and Wales were first administered as a single unit by the Ancient Roman, as the Roman province of
Roman Britain. Welsh law developed from this base. It was first codified by
Hywel Dda ("Hywel the Good") during the period between 942 and 950 when he was King of most of Wales. The Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284 replaced Welsh criminal law with English law. Welsh law continued to be used for civil cases until the annexation of Wales to England in the
16th century. Modern England and Wales share the same legal system as they are the successor to the former Kingdom of England. The continuation of Scots law was explicitly guaranteed by the
Acts of Union 1707, which therefore, by default, guaranteed the continuation of the legal system of the Kingdom of England.
Law
England and Wales are treated as a single unit, for most purposes, because the two form the constitutional successor to the former
Kingdom of England. The continuance of
Scots law was guaranteed under the Acts of Union 1707, and as a consequence English law (and after Acts of Union 1800, Irish law) also continued to be separate. Exceptions include the Welsh language acts of
Welsh Language Act 1967 and Welsh Language Act 1993 and also
Government of Wales Act 1998, which apply in Wales but not in England.
Wales was brought under a common monarch with England through conquest with the
Statute of Rhuddlan in
1284 and
annexed to England for legal purposes by the
Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542. However, references in legislation for 'England' were still taken as excluding Wales. The
Wales and Berwick Act 1746 meant that in all future laws, 'England' would by default include Wales (and
Berwick-upon-Tweed). This was later
repealed in 1967 (for Wales, but not for Berwick) and current laws use "England and Wales" to refer to the legal entity.
The other countries of the
United Kingdom, namely Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as Crown dependencies (such as the Isle of Man,
Jersey and
Guernsey, each with its own legal system), are also separate units for the conflict of laws (although they are not separate states under public international law) (see the more complete explanation in English law).
Company registration
For the purposes of the legal registration of companies, England and Wales are treated as a single entity (companies are "Registered in England and Wales") with a unified register, separate from those of Scotland or Northern Ireland. However it is possible to register a company in Wales with a Welsh language name.
Other bodies
Outside of the legal system the position is mixed. Some organisations combine as "England and Wales", others separate.
In sports, cricket has a
England cricket team administered by the England and Wales Cricket Board, while
association football,
rugby union and other sports have separate national representative teams for either country.
Some religious denominations organise on the basis of England and Wales, most notably the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, but also small denominations, eg. the
Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England and Wales. Prior to the splitting-off of the
Church in Wales in 1920 the Church of England operated throughout England and Wales.
The
Electoral Commission (United Kingdom) maintains a register of political parties, organised according to where the party operates. As of March 2007 the Commission listed 8 parties registered as operating in England and Wales (as opposed to 197 operating in England only, and 11 operating in Wales only), the largest of which is the
Green Party of England and Wales.
Some professional bodies represent England and Wales, for example the
Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, the
National Farmers Union (England and Wales) and the Police Federation of England and Wales.
Other examples include the Charity Commission, the Environment Agency, the
General Register Office, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, Her Majesty's Land Registry, Her Majesty's Prison Service,
Mountain Rescue England and Wales,
St. John Ambulance in England and Wales, the
Worshipful Company of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales livery company, and the
Youth Hostels Association.
England and Wales has its own
Order of precedence in England and Wales, distinct from those of Northern Ireland or Scotland, or other Commonwealth Realms.
The national parks of England and Wales have a distinctive legislative framework and history.
Geography
If considered as a subdivision of the United Kingdom, England and Wales would have a population of 53,390,300 (89% of the UK total)http://www.statistics.gov.uk/CCI/nugget.asp?ID=6 Official mid-2005 population estimate; England=50,431,700 Wales=2,958,600 UK=60,209,500 and an area of 151,174 km².
