Schedule 1: The Parliamentary Works Sponsor Body Part 2: Powers, procedure, reporting etc. Transfer of property etc. to the Sponsor Body
Paragraph 19 creates a power for one or more transfer schemes to be made, allowing parliamentary staff (who will staff the shadow Sponsor Body), and other property and rights and associated liabilities, to be transferred to the Sponsor Body for the purposes of the Parliamentary building works. In respect of transferring staff, the transfer schemes must make equivalent provisions where the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (S.I 2006 / 246) do not apply. Before making a transfer scheme, the Leader of the House of Commons or the Leader of the House of Lords or both Leaders acting jointly (depending on which House(s) the property, rights or liabilities are being transferred from) must consult the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons and/or the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords (depending on which House(s) the property, rights or liabilities are being transferred from). The property, rights and liabilities which can be transferred are those that the Sponsor Body considers are necessary in connection with the Parliamentary building works.
