Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

The Board can choose a person to be the Registrar of Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers. You need to know the Registrar gets paid by the Board. The Board can give the Registrar some of its jobs or powers. The Board cannot give the Registrar certain jobs or powers, like those in sections 28, 30, or 142 to 144, or subpart 1 of Part 3. The Registrar can do jobs or use powers like the Board, unless the Board says otherwise. If someone asks, the Registrar must show they have the authority to do their job. The Board is still responsible for what the Registrar does, even if the Registrar is given some of the Board's jobs or powers. The Registrar's authority is not affected if someone new becomes the Registrar. The Board can still do its own jobs, even if it gives some to the Registrar.
