2006 CHAPTER 52

8 November 2006

Third Group of Parts – General

Part 19 – Supplementary

Chapter 4 – Final Provisions
Section 378: Minor and consequential amendments and repeals

755.This section introduces Schedules 16 and 17. Schedule 16 sets out the minor and consequential amendments to other Acts that are required as a consequence of the provisions of this Act; whilst Schedule 17 sets out the repeals and revocations in other Acts and subordinate legislation that are required as a consequence of this Act. Legislation about the armed forces is referred to in very many other Acts and pieces of subordinate legislation and these now require up-dating so that, for example, they refer to the “Armed Forces Act 2006” rather than the individual SDAs.
