Sub-paragraph (5) provides that a delegation does not prevent the Office or one of its committees from carrying out a delegated function itself.
122.Sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) provide that the functions at section 4(3) and (4) (the “core functions”) must be exercised by the Budget Responsibility Committee and may not be delegated.
