Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

If you are a Minister in charge of a Crown entity, you can give the entity new jobs to do. This can happen if the law that sets up the entity, or the entity's own rules, says you have the power to add new jobs. You can tell the entity to do a new job if it fits with what the entity is supposed to achieve. When you give a direction to add a new job, some other rules apply, like what is said in sections 114 and 115. You must make sure the new job is consistent with the entity's objectives.
