Digital Hub Development Agency Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
The sections contained in Part 3 are again standard transitional provisions for the transfer of functions to a new body. It should be noted that section 38 provides for the dissolution of the company, DMDL. This is a necessary legal step in transforming it into the agency. Any references in legislation, for example, the Freedom of Information Act, will automatically be taken to refer to the agency on the enactment of this Bill. This is covered in section 39. An adjunct to the dissolution of DMDL is contained in section 43, where the drawing up of the final accounts of the company is provided for.
