Public Bodies Act 2011

2011 CHAPTER 24

Commentary

Part 1: General Order-Making Powers

Section 12: Time limits

37.Section 12 provides that each entry in Schedules 1 to 5 will cease to have effect 5 years after the commencement of that entry. This is, therefore, a form of “sunsetting” in that the relevant order-making power will only be exercisable in relation to the entry for five years.

38.Subsection (5) of section 6 provides that an order under sections 1 to 5 may also include provision repealing the relevant entry (which may be prior to the end of the five year time limit provided for by virtue of section 12).
