Article 16 Scheme for transfer of property etc.

Each constituent council must make a scheme for the transfer of its property, rights and liabilities to the GMCA or to the Executive, or to the GMCA and the Executive, as soon as reasonably practicable.

The property, rights and liabilities that are to be the subject of the scheme are those relating to the transport functions of each constituent council delegated to the GMCA by article 8 of this Order.

Any transfers by the scheme are to take effect on such date as may be specified in the scheme.

The requirement in paragraph (1) may be fulfilled by a scheme or schemes made jointly by two or more of the constituent councils.
