Part 9: Public Sector Employment: Restrictions on Exit Payments Section 153C
This section provides that a Minister of the Crown, or where appropriate the Scottish Ministers or Welsh Ministers, may relax the whole or part of any restriction imposed by regulations made under section 153A. The power to relax the restrictions is exercisable in respect of an individual employee or post-holder, or in respect of a class of employees or post-holders. The section also provides that regulations made under section 153A may make provision for the power to relax the restrictions to be delegated to another person and that if regulations made by the Treasury impose restrictions on exit payments made by relevant Welsh authorities, then the regulations must provide that the power to relax those restrictions is delegated to the Welsh Ministers.
	The section also provides that regulations under section 153A may make provision that the power to relax the restrictions is exercisable only with the consent of the person making the regulations or in compliance with any direction issued by them (save in respect of payments by relevant Welsh authorities that are restricted by regulations made by the Treasury) and for information in respect of the exercise of any relaxation of the restrictions to be published.
