Clause 34

As from the appointed day, every person who immediately before that day is employed by the Government in the Planning Department or the Research and Statistics Unit, or by the former Authority, shall be transferred to the service of the Authority on terms not less favourable than those enjoyed by him immediately prior to his transfer.

Notwithstanding subsection (1), persons holding such grades in the Planning Department or the Research and Statistics Unit as the Minister may determine shall as soon as practicable be given the option of remaining in the service of the Government.

Nothing in this section shall preclude the secondment to the Authority of officers in the employment of the Government on such terms as may be agreed upon by the Government and the Authority.
