Equality Act 2006 Explanatory Notes

Schedule 1, Part 3: Money

323.Paragraphs 35 to 37 set out the remuneration arrangements for the CEHR Board, staff members or members of an advisory or decision-making committee. It also allows for the CEHR to be listed as part of the Superannuation Act 1972 in respect of pension arrangements for staff.

324.Paragraph 38 requires the Secretary of State to determine and provide funds that are reasonably sufficient to enable the CEHR to perform its functions 307. Paragraph 39 allows the CEHR to charge for a service provided under section 13 (Information, advice etc), or section 27 (Conciliation).

325.Paragraphs 40 and 41 requires the CEHR to prepare a statement of accounts on an annual basis which is examined, certified and reported on by the Comptroller and Auditor General. The first financial year to which this obligation relates begins when section 1 of the Act is brought into force and ends on the second following 31st March. Subsequent financial years run from 1st April to 31st March (as does the first financial year if section 1 is brought into force on 1st April).
