(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order appoints 30th September 1989 as the day for the repeal of the enactments specified in Part XIV of Schedule 17 to the Finance Act 1989 (“the Act”) other than section 27 of the Tithe Act 1936 (c. 43).

Section 185 of the Act provides for the winding up of the Redemption Annuities Account which was established under section 25 of the Tithes Act 1936 (c. 43). That is to be done on 29th September 1989. The enactments specified in Part XIV of Schedule 17 make provision with respect to that Account and other provision with respect to stock issued under the Tithe Act and their repeal is consequential upon the winding up of the account and of the redemption of the stock. Section 27 of the Tithe Act is kept in force to enable final accounts of the Redemption Annuities Account to be dealt with.
