As soon as may be after the commencement of this Act the county council shall reconstitute the East Sussex registers by drawing new registers in accordance with subsection (2) below.

The new registers shall be drawn in such manner as to replicate as far as reasonably practicable the contents of the destroyed registers and to incorporate all such amendments, corrections or alterations as shall have been required by or under the Act of 1965 or the [1989 c. 18.] Common Land (Rectification of Registers) Act 1989 to be entered into the East Sussex registers since the destruction of the destroyed registers.

Nothing in this Act shall prejudice the power of the county council to note in the new registers any matter authorised to be noted by or under the Act of 1965.
