Part 7Miscellaneous and final provisions

47Section 3 of the Act of Settlement

(1)

For the avoidance of doubt, the repeal in section 18(7) of the Electoral Administration Act 2006 of the entry in Schedule 7 to the British Nationality Act 1981 (entry which modified certain disqualifications imposed by section 3 of the Act of Settlement) applied only so far as the modification made by that entry related to—

(a)

membership of the House of Commons, or

(b)

anything from which a person is disqualified by virtue of a disqualification from membership of that House.

(2)

Section 3 of the Act of Settlement has effect accordingly, and has done so since the coming into force of section 18 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006.
