Where necessary, provisions of a saving nature relating to the amendment concerned
have also been set out in Schedule 1.
SCHEDULE 2--AMENDMENTS BY WAY OF STATUTE LAW REVISION
Schedule 2 amends certain other Acts for the purpose of effecting statute law
revision. A number of other amendments are made relating to formal drafting matters
and minor corrections.
The amendments to each Act are explained in detail in the explanatory note relating
to the Act concerned set out in Schedule 2.
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 the Billiards and Bagatelle (Repeal) Act 1992. The
amendments made by that Act to the Gaming and Betting Act 1912 have been
incorporated in a reprint. Because of section 28 of the Interpretation Act 1987, the
repeal does not operate to revive the Billiards and Bagatelle Act 1902.
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 general effect.
The purpose of each provision is explained in detail in the explanatory note relating
to the provision concerned set out in Schedule 4.
