Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005

Paragraph 21: General powers

76.This paragraph enables SOCA to enter into contracts, acquire property, borrow money and receive gifts or loans, where it decides to do so in connection with the discharge of its functions. SOCA requires the consent of the Secretary of State when acquiring or disposing of property and borrowing money. This consent does not need to be given on a case by case basis. Instead, the Secretary of State may choose to give blanket consent, based on conditions or a class of cases as defined by him.
