Commentary on Sections Part 1: Elections Paragraph 13 - Delegation by the Commission of functions under this Schedule
92.Paragraph 13 amends section 13(1) of the 2013 Act so the Boundary Commission may delegate to one or more of its members or an assistant commissioner (who may be appointed under section 11 of the 2013 Act) such of its functions in respect of Schedule 1 as the Boundary Commission may consider appropriate.
93.Without this amendment to the 2013 Act, the Boundary Commission would be able to delegate functions in the way described and to the persons specified in respect of its functions under the 2013 Act only, which could at some point restrict its ability to fulfil its responsibilities set out in this Schedule.
