Section 44: Transitory, transitional and saving provisions
103.Section 44 contains provisions for inquiries that have been set up under legislation that is being repealed by the Act. It will ensure, for example, that inquiries set up before this Act was introduced will not be affected by the provisions contained in this Act and will be able to continue as if the old legislation were still in place. It also provides that a Minister may still in the future set up an inquiry in ways other than under this Act, whether on a statutory basis or otherwise.
