Schedule 4: Transitional provisions relating to Part 2 Paragraphs 6 and 7: Provision of services
218.Paragraph 6 provides for continuity of the powers under which the C&AG acts. Anything done under power which is no longer available is to be treated as having been done under the general power of section 16, so far as necessary or appropriate.
219.Paragraph 7 provides that existing contracts for the C&AG to provide services will not become subject to the new approval regime of paragraph 3 of Schedule 3 when that regime first comes into effect. However, the charging provisions of paragraph 8 of that Schedule will apply as if they were NAO-approved services. When a current contract expires or is renewed, it would then become subject to the approval regime.
