122 Repeals.

The enactments mentioned in the Fifth Schedule to this Act are hereby repealed to the extent specified in the third column of that Schedule, and so much of the provisions of any local Act (including any local Act passed at any time in the present Session of Parliament) as confers or imposes on any person any power, right, or obligation, which by any enactment mentioned in the said third column or by this Act (otherwise than by Part V thereof) is conferred or imposed on any person, is hereby repealed:

Provided that nothing in this repeal shall affect any regulations or orders made by the Minister under any enactment hereby repealed, or any licences granted under the Motor Car Act, 1903, but any such order, regulation or licence shall have effect as if made or granted under the corresponding provision of this Act, subject, however, to the following modifications and qualifications:

(a) any regulations made under section four of the [59 & 60 Vict. c. 36.] Locomotives on Highways Act, 1896, or section nine of the Motor Car Act, 1903, by which a speed limit of less than twenty miles per hour is imposed and in force at the commencement of this Act, shall not, unless the Minister by order otherwise directs, continue in force for more than twelve months thereafter;

(b) a licence granted under the Motor Car Act, 1903, shall not continue in force beyond the time when it would have expired if this Act had not been passed, but if a new licence is granted to the holder thereof under Part I of this Act, there shall be copied on that licence before it is issued the particulars, if any, which are endorsed on the licence granted under the Motor Car Act, 1903, unless he is entitled under Part I of this Act to have a licence issued to him free from endorsements;

(c) references in any order made under subsection (4) of section seven of the Roads Act, 1920, to heavy motor cars or to locomotives shall be construed respectively as references to heavy motor cars as defined by this Act and to heavy locomotives and light locomotives as so defined and any expressions in any orders or regulations made under any other repealed enactments shall bear the same meaning as they bore immediately before the commencement of this Act.
