Commentary on provisions of Act Section 8: Castlereagh Foundation
This new section, as amended in the Lords, makes provision for the Secretary of State to establish the Castlereagh Foundation separate to the functions conferred on the Office of Identity and Cultural Expression in section 78I, but on the same terms as referenced at paragraph 27. This provision is made so as to ensure consistency with the Secretary of State’s powers in sections 7 and 8 of the Act.
