Section 74(3)

Interpretation

1 In this Schedule -

"the Director" means the Director of the Assets Recovery Agency;

"NPIA" means the National Policing Improvement Agency; and

"transfer scheme" means a scheme made by the Secretary of State under this Schedule.

    (1) A transfer scheme may provide for a person who is the Director or a member of staff of the Agency to become an employee of SOCA or NPIA.

    (2) If the person had a contract of employment before becoming an employee of SOCA or NPIA, the scheme may provide for that contract to have effect (subject to any necessary modifications) as if originally made between him and SOCA or (as the case may be) NPIA.
