Parliament Act 2025

Clerk and Office of the Clerk - Clerk - Appointment, functions, duties, powers, and delegations

105: Status of delegations

You could also call this:

"What happens to jobs or tasks the Clerk gives to others"

Illustration for Parliament Act 2025

You can think of a delegation like a permission slip. If the Clerk gives you a delegation, it keeps working until they take it away. The Clerk can take away a delegation by writing it down. If the Clerk is no longer in their job, the delegation still works as if the new Clerk gave it. The Clerk can still do the job or task they delegated to someone else. The Clerk is still responsible for what people do when they are working under a delegation. When a delegation is made, it does not change the Clerk's responsibility for the actions of the people working under it.
