In schedule 2 to the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”) (fundable bodies)–

for the purpose of the continuing application of the 2005 Act to that institution (for so long as continuing to subsist); and
b
until such time as that institution is closed by an order made under section 47 of the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 19923.
