100 Transitional provisions; minor and consequential amendments; repeals.

(1) The provisions of Schedule 26 to this Act shall have effect with respect to the transition from the operation of the National Insurance Acts 1965 to 1972 and the corresponding Northern Ireland legislation, and the other enactments repealed by this Act, to the operation of this Act.

(2) Subject to any provision made by or under subsection (1) above—

(a) the enactments and Orders specified in Schedule 27 to this Act shall (without prejudice to any other provision of this Act) have effect subject to the amendments there specified, being minor amendments and amendments consequential on the provisions of this Act;

(b) the enactments and Orders specified in Schedule 28 to this Act (which include certain spent provisions and other provisions which are no longer required or will cease to be required on the coming into force of the amendments made by Schedule 27) are hereby repealed to the extent specified in the third column of that Schedule.

(3) Where this Act amends an enactment of the Parliament of Northern Ireland, or an Order made under, or having the same effect as, an enactment of that Parliament, the enactment or Order as amended snail be subject to the [1954 c. 33 (N.I.).] Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954 in the same way as an Act of that Parliament is so subject.

(4) Section 38 of the [1889 c. 63.] Interpretation Act 1889 (effect of repeals) shall have the same operation in relation to any repeal by this Act of an enactment of the Parliament of Northern Ireland (or of any provision of an Order made under an enactment of that Parliament) as it has in relation to the repeal of an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, references in that section of the Act of 1889 to Acts and enactments being construed accordingly.
