To remove any doubt, it is declared that sections 173 to 178 apply to an Act mentioned in them only after the Act is, or the relevant provisions of the Act are, repealed.
Example—A reference to the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Act 1984 or a provision of that Act is not taken to be a reference to this Act until the repeal of the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Act 1984 or the provision of that Act.
