Legislation Act 2019

Parliamentary Counsel Office - Powers of Chief Parliamentary Counsel

134: Revocation of delegations

You could also call this:

"Stopping someone from doing a job they were given to do"

If you give someone a job to do under section 133, you can take that job away at any time by writing it down. You do this to stop them from doing the job anymore. When you write it down, the job is taken away.

If a Chief Parliamentary Counsel gives someone a job to do, but then they are not the Chief Parliamentary Counsel anymore, the job still needs to be done. The person who is now the Chief Parliamentary Counsel is in charge of the job. This means the job keeps going even though the old Chief Parliamentary Counsel is not there anymore.
