Property Advisers to the Civil Estate (PACE)

HL Deb 28 November 1996 vol 576 cc29-30WA

Lord Denning

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the answer of Earl Howe on 12th November 1996 (HL Deb., col. WA 96), whether proceedings by or against PACE (Property Advisers to the Civil Estate) are subject to the provisions of the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 and otherwise of no effect.

Earl Howe

The Crown Proceedings Act 1947 does apply to proceedings by or against PACE, and the Cabinet Office would be the appropriate authorised government department for the purposes of Section 17 of that Act.
