(a)section 6(1) so far as relating to the requirements specified in paragraphs (a), (d) and (e) of that provision, and
(b)section 7,
shall have effect as if the delivery of those programmes constituted the provision of a service licensed under Part I of this Act.
(3)Accordingly, any reference in those provisions to programmes included in a licensed service shall, where those provisions have effect as mentioned in subsection (2) above, be construed as a reference to any such programmes as are mentioned in that subsection.
