accordance with approved procedures classify, or alter the classification of,
offices other than offices included in the Special Division of the Public
Service under section 38.
(2) Subject to

are established in lieu of existing departments or organisations or by the
amalgamation or division of existing departments or organisations, the
Minister may effect the disposition of offices and public service officers and
