Article 3(2) and Schedule 2 make consequential amendments and modifications to disqualification provisions contained in an Act of Parliament other than the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986. Article 3(3) and Schedule 3 make consequential amendments or modifications to disqualification provisions made under an Act of Parliament. The amendments made by this order are to primary and secondary legislation which already provides for disqualification of persons from office in the event of insolvency, so as to extend these disqualifications to persons subject to debt relief orders (under Part 7A of the Insolvency Act 1986) and to debt relief restrictions orders and debt relief restrictions undertakings and their respective interim orders and undertakings (under Schedule 4ZB to the Insolvency Act 1986).
