Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill (No. 2) 1990
SCHEDULE 3 - REPEALS

Schedule 3 repeals a number of Acts. Since the Statute Law (Miscellaneous
Provisions) Act 1985 the number of Acts in force has been gradually reduced by
repealing amending Acts once the amendments contained in the Acts have been
incorporated in a reprint. The Schedule continues this process.

The Schedule also repeals amending Acts and Acts containing uncommenced
provisions which are superfluous because the Principal Acts they amend or to which
they relate have been repealed.

The effect of the repeal of amending Acts is explained in detail in the explanatory
note set out in Schedule 3.

SCHEDULE 4 -- GENERAL SAVINGS, TRANSITIONAL AND

OTHER PROVISIONS

Schedule 4 contains savings, transitional and other provisions of a more general
effect than those set out in Schedule 1 and certain validations relating to fees.

The purpose of each provision is explained in detail in the explanatory note
relating to the provision concerned set out in Schedule 4.
