Under section 9(4) of the Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Act 2011, the functions of the Minister for Finance in relation to the Commissioners of Public Works transferred to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. In addition, specific functions of the Minister for Finance in other legislation coming within the remit of the OPW will transfer to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in the Transfer of Functions Order. It is intended that the Transfer of Functions Order will be presented to Government on Tuesday 19th July and become effective from 20th July following which I will consider the appropriate delegation orders to the Minister of State.
