Part 5: General Section 70: Transitional provision and savings
Subsection (1) incorporates Schedule 7, which makes transitional and savings provisions that are required in relation to the Act's provisions.
	Subsection (2) creates a regulation making power for the Secretary of State to make additional transitional or savings provisions which appear appropriate in relation to the Act.
	Subsection (3) clarifies that the subsection (2) power includes the ability to make savings resulting from any amendment, repeal or revocation made by the Act.
	Subsection (5) provides that Schedule 7 does not limit the subsection (2) power and, indeed, that Schedule can itself by modified by the subsection (2) power.
	Subsection (6) provides that neither Schedule 7, nor regulations made under subsection (2) affect section 16 or 17 of the Interpretation Act 1978. This is necessary, in particular, to ensure that section 17(2)(a) of the 1978 Act applies. That section provides that where an Act repeals and re-enacts a previous enactment (unless the contrary intention appears) any reference to the repealed enactment elsewhere on the statute book is to be read as referring to the re-enacted provision. Similarly, secondary legislation and other things done under the repealed enactment, are to be read as if made or done under the re-enacted provision
	Subsection (7) requires regulations under subsection (2) to be made by statutory instrument.
	Subsection (8) provides for regulations under subsection (2) to be subject to negative resolution procedure in Parliament.
