Schedule 4: Transitional provisions relating to Part 2 Paragraph 8: Indemnification
220.Paragraph 8 provides for the indemnities in section 24 to extend to liabilities that arise before the coming into force of that section, and liabilities that arise in relation to acts or omissions that occur before then. They also cover persons who were formerly members of NAO staff. This provision is needed to ensure that there is no break in cover between the indemnity set out in section 4(6) of the National Audit Act 1983 and that in section 24 of this Act.
