Part 3: Research Establishment of United Kingdom Research and Innovation Section 92: The Councils of UKRI
This section establishes nine UKRI committees, which are referred to as "Councils". These committees consist of seven research councils (subsection (1)(a) to (g)), Innovate UK (subsection (1)(h)) and the research funding functions currently exercised by HEFCE (subsection (1)(i)).
	The Secretary of State has the power by regulation to add, omit or change the names of a Council. This power does not extend to either Innovate UK or Research England. These Regulations are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure which means that they must be passed by a vote of each House of Parliament (see section 119(2)(f)).
	Before making these regulations, the Secretary of State must consult such persons as they consider appropriate. If requested to do so by the Secretary of State, UKRI must carry out this consultation as directed by the Secretary of State.
	This section forms part of the law of the United Kingdom.
