Schedule 6 to the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 makes provision for repealing (among other things) section 67 of the Criminal Justice Act 1967. The repealing provision was commenced, so far as it relates to that section, by article 2(1) and (2) of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 (Commencement No. 4) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/932). However, article 2(3) of that Order provides that the coming into force of the repeal is of no effect in relation to a case in which a court has imposed a sentence of imprisonment in respect of an offence committed before 4th April 2005.
