The transitional provisions and savings contained in Schedule 5 to this Act shall have effect; but those provisions and savings are without prejudice to sections 16 and 17 of the Interpretation Act 1978 (effect of repeals).

In that Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires, expressions which are also used in the 1986 Act have the same meanings as in that Act.

The Secretary of State may by order make such other transitional provisions and savings as appear to him necessary or expedient.

An order under subsection (3) above shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

The enactments specified in Schedule 6 to this Act are hereby repealed to the extent specified in the third column of that Schedule.
