Section 47: Expiry of power in sections 45 and 46
200.Subsection (1) provides that if no regulations have been made under section 45 within fours years of Royal Assent, that section will cease to have effect at that time.
201.Subsection (2) makes the same provision for Wales.
202.Subsections (1) and (2) operate independently, so if regulations are not made in England within the four year period, the power in section 45 expires even if regulations have been made under section 46 in Wales (and vice versa).
