Part 3: Research Strategies and strategic delivery plans Section 100: Councils’ strategic delivery plans
When UKRI publishes a strategy under section 99, it must arrange for each Council to prepare a strategic delivery plan to a deadline. These plans will be submitted to UKRI, who may approve each plan with or without changes.
	The strategic delivery plan sets out how the Council will exercise its functions under sections 95 to 98.
	Each Council has a duty to exercise its functions under sections 95 to 98 in accordance with its strategic delivery plan.
	UKRI is under a duty to publish Councils’ approved strategic delivery plans in such a manner as determined by the Secretary of State.
	This section forms part of the law of the United Kingdom.
