Paragraph 3
No amendment or repeal made by this Act shall affect—
the continuance of the Council for the purposes of paragraphs 1 or 2 above or their powers and duties under those paragraphs, or
the continued operation for those purposes of the provisions of the principal Act relating to the constitution and proceedings of the Council.
The Council shall cease to exist when the Secretary of State, being satisfied that their duties under paragraphs 1 and 2 above have been discharged, so directs by order.
Section 3(1) of this Act does not affect the continuance of employment with the Council, but on the Council ceasing to exist—
any contract of employment with the Council then in force shall cease to have effect, except as regards rights previously accrued and liabilities previously incurred, and
subject to any provision made under paragraph 6(1)(b) or 8(1) below, any rights and liabilities of the Council then existing shall by virtue of this paragraph become rights and liabilities of the Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State shall pay to the appointed members of the Council (within the meaning of paragraph 27(2) of Schedule 3 to the principal Act), in respect of the period beginning with the appointed day and ending with the Council ceasing to exist, such remuneration (whether by way of salary or fees) and such allowances as, with the approval of the Treasury, he may determine.
The Secretary of State shall, as soon as possible after determining the amount of any remuneration or allowances payable under subparagraph (4) above, lay a statement of his determination before each House of Parliament.
As from the appointed day, the Secretary of State shall make available to the Council such facilities as the Council or their auditors may reasonably require for performing duties imposed on them by or by virtue of paragraphs 1 and 2 above; and the remuneration of the auditors and any other expenses incurred by the Council in connection with the performance of those duties on and after the appointed day shall be defrayed by the Secretary of State out of money provided by Parliament.
