I move amendment No. 18:

In page 11, between lines 20 and 21, to insert the following: “Provisions consequent upon transfer of functions

16. (1) Anything commenced and not completed before the dissolution day by or under the authority of the Chief Deciding Officer may, in so far as it relates to a function of the Chief Deciding Officer transferred to the Minister under section 14, be carried on or completed on or after the dissolution day by the Minister.

(2) Every instrument made under an enactment and every document (including any certificate) granted or made by the Chief Deciding Officer shall, if and in so far as it was operative immediately before the dissolution day, have effect on and after that day as if it had been granted or made by the Minister.

(3) References to the Chief Deciding Officer in any enactment or in the constitution of any company and relating to a function transferred to the Minister under section 14 shall, on and after the dissolution day, be construed as a reference to the Minister.”.
