(1) The Central Criminal Court shall have jurisdiction to try and determine indictments for offences committed within Greater London, and accordingly Greater London shall be specified as the Court's area of jurisdiction in any commission of oyer and terminer and gaol delivery with respect to the Court instead of the area so specified before the passing of this Act.

(3) The provisions of Schedule 1 to this Act shall have effect with respect to the Central Criminal Court (being provisions re-enacting, with additions and modifications consequential on the foregoing provisions of this section, and with other minor modifications and omissions, the provisions of the Central Criminal Court Act 1834 and other enactments relating to the constitution, jurisdiction, proceedings and officers of that Court).

(4) Nothing in this section shall be construed as affecting the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court or any other court to try and determine any case brought before it by virtue of sections 11 and 14(2) of the Criminal Justice Act 1925, sections 9 to 11 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1952 or any other enactment.
