Part 3: Research Research and innovation functions and role of the Councils Section 98: Exercise of functions by the Councils: supplementary
This section provides supplementary provisions relating to the exercise of UKRI’s functions.
	Subsection (1) provides that UKRI may arrange for a council to exercise any other function in addition to those it may exercise under sections 95, 96 or 97. This allows UKRI to enable a Council to exercise a function outside of its field of activity, for example in respect of cross-disciplinary research.
	Subsection (2) states that a particular function of UKRI may be exercised by more than one Council.
	Subsection (3) ensures that UKRI retains the ability to exercise any function it makes exercisable by a Council.
	Under subsection (4), each Council (including Innovate UK and Research England) must provide UKRI with advice or information about its exercise of UKRI functions, on request from UKRI.
	This section forms part of the law of the United Kingdom.
