(1)
Where immediately before commencement—
(a)
any scheme or committee falls to be treated as a local flood defence scheme or a local flood defence committee by virtue of subsection (2) of section 139 of the 1989 Act; or
(b)
any person holds office in accordance with subsection (4) of that section,
that scheme or committee shall continue to be so treated or, as the case may be, that person shall continue so to hold office, notwithstanding the provisions of section 13 of, or Schedule 4 to, the Water Resources Act 1991 or the repeal of any enactment by this Act.
(2)
Where a person is disqualified for membership of a local flood defence committee by virtue of having been adjudged bankrupt before the coming into force of the Insolvency Act 1986, the rules applicable apart from the repeals made by this Act, rather than paragraph 3(2) of Schedule 4 to the Water Resources Act 1991, shall apply for determining when that disqualification shall cease.
