The Commissioner may appoint such staff as he may determine, with the approval of the Secretary of State as to numbers and terms and conditions of service.

Employment as a member of the staff of the Commissioner is one of the kinds of employment to which a superannuation scheme under section 1 of the M1Superannuation Act 1972 may apply.

Where a person who is a participant in a scheme under section 1 of that Act by reference to his employment by the Commissioner becomes the Commissioner, the Treasury may determine that his service as the Commissioner shall be treated for the purposes of the scheme as service as an employee of the Commissioner; and his rights under the scheme shall not be affected by the preceding provisions of this Part.

The Commissioner is not required to effect insurance under the M2Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969.
