The Minister may appoint a person to be a deputy of a Committee member, other than a member appointed ex officio, and may terminate such appointment at any time.

While taking the place of a member a deputy has all the powers and entitlements of, and all the protection given to, the member under this Act.

Any reference in this Act to a member shall be construed as including a reference to a deputy taking the place of that member.
