Amendments Etc Section 47: Inquiries etc under Northern Ireland legislation

Schedule 8 is being repealed by this Act. Subsection (2), which introduces Schedule 1 to the Act, ensures that any legislation under which these powers have been implicitly given to inquiries by virtue of the Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954 will be unaffected.
