Section 31

As from 1st April 2001, such persons or categories of persons as the Minister may determine who, immediately before that date, were employed by the Government in any of the departments as specified in the Schedule shall be transferred to the service of the Authority on terms no less favourable than those enjoyed by them immediately prior to their transfer.

If any question arises as to whether any person or category of persons has been transferred to the service of the Authority under subsection (1), a certificate under the hand of the Minister shall be conclusive evidence that the person or category of persons was or was not transferred.

Until such time as terms and conditions of service are drawn up by the Authority, the scheme and terms and conditions of the Government shall continue to apply to every person transferred to the service of the Authority under subsection (1) as if he were still in the employment of the Government.
