31 Right of government sector agencies to use infrastructure
If a transfer order is made in relation to the infrastructure of a government sector agency, the agency retains the right to use that infrastructure as part of an alternative telecommunications network, but only if—
(a) the transfer order provides for that use, or
(b) the Authority or the Minister approves that use.
Note—
Section 16 requires government sector agencies to use the Government telecommunications network, rather than the agency’s own telecommunications network, for operational communications.
