(a) to a permitted transferee, or
(b) so as to become employed in the civil service of the state.
2 (1) This paragraph applies where a staff transfer scheme provides for the transfer of an employee of the LSC to a permitted transferee or so as to become employed in the civil service of the state.
(2) The scheme must provide for the TUPE regulations to apply (to the extent that they would not otherwise apply) as if—
(a) any transfer of functions (however effected and described) from the LSC to a permitted transferee or the Crown were a transfer of an undertaking;
(b) the transfer of the undertaking took effect on a designated date;
(c) the transfer of the undertaking were a relevant transfer for the purposes of the regulations;
(d) the employee had for those purposes been assigned to an organised grouping of resources or employees that was subject to the relevant transfer.
3 (1) This paragraph applies where a staff transfer scheme provides for a transfer of an employee of the LSC so as to become employed in the civil service of the state on terms which do not constitute a contract of employment.
(2) The scheme must provide for the TUPE regulations to apply with the necessary modifications.
4 A staff transfer scheme may provide for the transfer of an employee of the LSC to a permitted transferee or so as to become employed in the civil service of the state despite any provisions, of whatever nature, which would otherwise prevent the employee from being so transferred.
Property transfer schemes5 (1) The Secretary of State may make a scheme (a “property transfer scheme”) providing for the transfer from the LSC of designated property, rights or liabilities of the LSC to—
(b) the Secretary of State, or

(a) create rights, or impose liabilities, in relation to property or rights transferred by virtue of the scheme;
(b) provide for anything done by or in relation to the LSC in connection with any property, rights or liabilities transferred by the scheme to be treated as done, or to be continued, by or in relation to the person to whom the property, rights or liabilities in question are transferred;

Continuity6 A transfer by virtue of a staff transfer scheme or a property transfer scheme does not affect the validity of anything done by or in relation to the LSC before the transfer takes effect. Supplementary provision etc.7 A staff transfer scheme or a property transfer scheme may include supplementary, incidental, transitional and consequential provision.
