Commentary Museum of London Section 45: Transfer of power of appointment of members of Board of Governors
113.Subsection (1) amends section 1(2)(a) of the 1965 Act to enable the Authority to take over the Prime Minister’s power to appoint half of the members of the Museum of London’s Board of Governors.
114.Subsection (2) amends paragraph 4(1) of the Schedule to the 1965 Act. That paragraph sets out the procedure for Governors who wish to resign from their post. It enables them to do so by giving notice in writing to the authority responsible for appointing them which, at present, is either the Prime Minister or the City. This amendment substitutes the Authority for the Prime Minister.
115.Subsection (3) ensures that Governors appointed by the Prime Minister before the Act comes into force will not be affected by the provisions in this section.
