Chapter 3: Enforcement Section 27: Delegation of enforcement functions
This section provides that the Secretary of State may delegate enforcement functions to a person via regulations.
	Subsection (2) provides that the Secretary of State may make payments for the performance of enforcement functions to an authorised person. This could be payment for singular enforcement actions or continuous responsibility for multiple enforcement activities.
	Subsection (3) provides that regulations which authorise a person to exercise enforcement functions do not prevent the Secretary of State from also performing a function to which those regulations relate.
	Subsection (4) defines an "enforcement function" as (a) any function of the Secretary of State under this Chapter, or (b) any function of the Secretary of State under Schedule 5 to the Consumer Rights Act 2015, so far as exercisable for the purposes of this Part.
	Where a person is authorised to undertake an enforcement function under subsection (1), subsection (5) provides that any reference to the Secretary of State in provisions relating to that enforcement function should also be read as a reference to that person.
	The exercise of this power will be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
