Schedule 1: Minor and Consequential Amendments Relating to Part 3 Section 16 - Assistant commissioners
42.Section 16 provides that the Commission may appoint one or more assistant commissioners to whom it may delegate functions in accordance with section 13 of the 2013 Act. This section also makes changes to the list of persons who may not be assistant commissioners, to align with the amendments made by section 14 to those who may not be members of the Commission under the Act. This section also provides that assistant commissioners are disqualified from being a Member of the Senedd or a candidate to be a Member of the Senedd (which was, and remains, the case for members of the Commission and the chief executive of the Commission).
