Regulation 11 Small workforces: transitional provision

Where during the reorganisation period a successor authority undertake work comprised in an arrangement in relation to which Part III of the Act did not, by reason of section 21 of the Act, apply in relation to the transferor authority in the year ending immediately before the reorganisation date, nothing in that section shall require the authority to comply with the requirements of that Part in respect of that work.

In relation to a new authority, Part III of the Act shall not apply during the reorganisation period if before the reorganisation date the shadow authority estimate that during that period the new authority will not at any one time employ more than fifteen persons (other than persons excluded by section 21(2) of the Act from the application of section 21 (1)) to be engaged (whether wholly or partly) in carrying out or undertaking construction and maintenance work.
