Provisions
The act allows government ministers to delegate powers vested in them to "any other servant of the Crown" - in practice, this has generally meant civil servants.[1] The act allowed for the delegation of management functions to executive agencies.[2]
The act allowed individual departments to determine their own pay arrangements and broke up national pay bargaining.[3]
The act extends to civil servants working for the Scottish Government and the Welsh Government.[4][5] The act also extends to the Diplomatic Service.[6]
