237.Section 90 enables an order to be made by the Secretary of State to wind up the Commission. It specifies that the order may, among other things, provide for the transfer of the functions, property, rights or liabilities of the Commission to another person. It also protects the employees by ensuring that an order made under this section will apply the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (“TUPE”) to the transfer of rights and liabilities relating to employees. There was no intention to dissolve the Commission at the time of the Act receiving Royal Assent, however, this provision is included so that it can be dissolved should a future need arise.
