Made 8th March 2007
Laid before Parliament 9th March 2007
Coming into force 1st April 2007
The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 3(6) and (7) of the Science and Technology Act 1965, makes the following Order:

## Part 1: Citation, commencement and interpretation

## 1 Citation and commencement

This Order may be cited as the Research Councils (Transfer of Property etc) Order 2007 and shall come into force on 1st April 2007.

## 2 Interpretation

In this Order—
“CCLRC” means the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils;
“PPARC” means the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council; and
“STFC” means the Science and Technology Facilities Council.

## Part 2: Transfer of property etc from CCLRC and PPARC to STFC

## 3 Transfer to take effect by virtue of this Order alone so far as applicable laws permit

(1) Subject only to the matters specified in paragraph (2), all property, rights, liabilities and obligations held, acquired or incurred by CCLRC or PPARC, whether before, on, or after 1st April 2007, are transferred to STFC by virtue of this Article.
(2) The matters specified in this paragraph are—
(a) in the case of any real or movable property, any applicable rule of law of the place where the property is situated—
(i) which determines the ownership of the property; and
(ii) under or by virtue of which the provisions of this Order alone are not sufficient to transfer the property completely to STFC; and
(b) in the case of any other property, right, liability or obligation, any applicable rule of law under or by virtue of which it has arisen, or to which it is subject—
(i) which determines who is entitled or subject to such property, right, liability or obligation; and
(ii) under or by virtue of which the provisions of this Order alone are not sufficient to transfer that property, right, liability or obligation completely to STFC.
(3) Except as provided for in Article 4, the completion of the transfer of any property, right, liability or obligation to STFC under or by virtue of this Order—
(a) shall not be subject to any matter provided for in any agreement entered into by CCLRC or PPARC; and
(b) shall not otherwise be subject to the agreement or approval of any third party, the making of any notification, or the compliance with any other requirement.

## 4 Action to be taken by Research Councils in certain cases

(1) This paragraph applies where any applicable rule of law—
(a) requires any notification to be made or agreement to be entered into; or
(b) imposes some other requirement which must be complied with,
before any particular property, right, liability or obligation of CCLRC or PPARC can be completely transferred to STFC.
(2) Where paragraph (1) applies, CCLRC or PPARC (as the case may be), and, if necessary, STFC, shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the notification, agreement or other requirement concerned is made, entered into or complied with as soon as possible.
(3) This paragraph applies where any rule of law precludes, or makes it not reasonably practicable to effect, a direct transfer of any property, right, liability or obligation of CCLRC or PPARC to STFC.
(4) Where paragraph (3) applies, CCLRC or PPARC (as the case may be), and, if necessary, STFC, shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that—
(a) CCLRC or PPARC (as the case may be) ceases to be entitled or subject to the property, right, liability or obligation concerned; and
(b) STFC becomes entitled to that property, or acquires or incurs a right, liability or obligation which is the same as that to which CCLRC or PPARC (as the case may be) has ceased to be entitled or subject in accordance with sub-paragraph (a),
so that the property right, liability or obligation concerned is indirectly transferred to STFC.

## 5 Specific property etc to be transferred as part of the transfer

(1) Without prejudice to the generality of Articles 3 and 4, the following are, or (where Article 4(1) or (3) applies) shall be, transferred to STFC—

## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (“STFC”) is established as a Research Council under the Science and Technology Act 1965 by virtue of the Science and Technology Facilities Council Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/279) with effect from 1 April 2007. STFC will be required, by virtue of directions from the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry given under section 3(6) of the Act, to take over, from 1 April 2007, the responsibilities carried out immediately before that date by the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils (“CCLRC”) and the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (“PPARC”), as well as certain responsibilities of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (“EPSRC”) relating to support for research into nuclear physics.
This Order makes provision for the transfer to STFC of:
(a) all property, rights, liabilities and obligations held, acquired or incurred in connection with the carrying on of activities by CCLRC and PPARC; and
(b) certain rights, liabilities and obligations acquired or incurred in connection with the carrying on of activities by EPSRC.
In most cases, these transfers will be effected on 1 April 2007 by virtue of the Order itself (see Articles 3 and 9). However, in some cases, legal requirements will make it necessary either to go through additional formalities (such as registration of title to registered land held by CCLRC or PPARC in England and Wales) or to execute a separate instrument of transfer (such as an assignment of CCLRC or PPARC’s rights under agreements made under foreign laws which do not recognise the effectiveness of the Order to transfer those rights). These cases are provided for in Article 4. The Schedules list, and Article 5(1)(f) and (g) describes, particular property, rights, liabilities and obligations transferred, or to be transferred, to STFC. However, Article 5(2) provides that no property, right, liability or obligation of CCLRC or PPARC shall not be transferred to STFC merely because it is not specified, or is not of a description specified, in the Order.
Provision is also made, in Articles 6 and 7, for existing and former employees of CCLRC and PPARC to have continuity of pension provision following the transfer of their employment to STFC. This applies in particular to provision made under the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and Research Councils pension schemes.
