HC Deb 11 January 1996 vol 269 cc285-6W
Dr. Spink

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what delegations have been made in 1995 under the Civil Service (Management Functions) Act 1992; to whom those delegations were made; and what were the main conditions that were attached to them. [8645]

Mr. Freeman

The table lists delegations made under the Civil Service (Management Functions) Act 1992 since the last report to Parliament,Official Report, 11 January 1995, col. 140. In some cases, for staff appointed by statutory office holders, Ministers were statutorily required to give consent to terms and conditions of service. For such staff, delegation has been effected by waiving that requirement, subject to the conditions attached to the delegation.
