Arms Bill

Administration - Arms Regulator

305: Delegation of employment powers to chief executive of Arms Regulator

You could also call this:

"The boss of the Arms Regulator gets to make employment decisions for some Police staff."

Illustration for Arms Bill

The proposed law says the Commissioner of Police will give some employment powers to the chief executive of the Arms Regulator. You will see this in action when the chief executive is dealing with Police employees who work for the Arms Regulator. The chief executive gets to make decisions about these employees, like hiring and firing them, and giving them instructions. The Commissioner is treated as having given these powers to the chief executive, but not having them for these employees themselves. The chief executive has the same rights and duties as the Commissioner would have under the Policing Act 2008, and can make decisions in the same way.
