An Act to amend the Labour Department Act 1954
BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
1 Short Title
This Act may be cited as the Labour Department Amendment Act 1979, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Labour Department Act 1954 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).
2 Delegation of powers by Secretary
(1)
The principal Act is hereby amended by inserting, after section 7, the following section:
“7A
“(1)
The Secretary may from time to time, either generally or particularly, by writing under his hand, delegate to such officer or officers of the Department as he thinks fit all or any of the powers exercisable by him or delegated to him under any enactment specified in the First Schedule to this Act or any other enactment, except this power of delegation.
“(2)
Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the Secretary shall not delegate any powers delegated to him by the Minister without the written consent of the Minister, or any powers delegated to him under the State Services Act 1962 without the written consent of the State Services Commission.
“(3)
Subject to any general or special directions given or conditions imposed from time to time by the Secretary, the officer to whom any powers are delegated under this section may exercise those powers in the same manner and with the same effect as if they had been conferred on him directly by this section and not by delegation.
“(4)
Every officer purporting to act pursuant to any delegation under this section shall, in the absence of proof to the contrary, be presumed to be acting in accordance with the terms of the delegation.
“(5)
Any delegation under this section may be made to any specified officer, or to officers of a specified class, or to the holder or holders for the time being of a specified office or class of offices.
“(6)
Every delegation under this section shall be revocable at will, and no such delegation shall prevent the exercise of any power by the Secretary.
“(7)
Until any delegation under this section is revoked it shall continue in force according to its tenor and, in the event of the Secretary by whom any such delegation is made ceasing to hold office, it shall continue to have effect as if made by the successor in office of that Secretary.”
(2)
The principal Act is hereby further amended by repealing the First Schedule (as substituted by section 3(1) of the Labour Department Amendment Act 1970), and substituting the First Schedule set out in the First Schedule to this Act.
(3)
The enactments specified in the Second Schedule to this Act are hereby consequentially repealed.
3 Repeal of powers relating to provision of home-aid service
Section 10(2) of the principal Act is hereby amended by repealing paragraph (b).
