Schedule 1 to this Act shall be substituted for Schedule 5 to the 1946 Act.
Sub-paragraph (c) of paragraph 1 of the said Schedule 1 shall not operate to disqualify a person who, at the coming into operation of this section, holds office as a member of an Executive Council and has the qualifications mentioned in that sub-paragraph from continuing to hold office for the residue of the term for which he was appointed.
In relation to each such Council, the term of office of each of the members thereof appointed by virtue of paragraph 1(b) and (c) of the said Schedule 1 otherwise than in the place of a former member shall, notwithstanding anything in regulations made under paragraph 6 of that Schedule, be such as the Minister may determine.
In relation to each such Council, the term of office of each of the members first appointed by virtue of paragraph 1(f) or (g) of the said Schedule 1 shall be such as the Minister may determine.
In so far as any regulation, appointment or determination made under the said Schedule 5 could have been made under a corresponding provision of the Schedule substituted therefor by this section, it shall not be invalidated by the substitution, but shall have effect as if it had been made under that corresponding provision.
This section does not apply to Scotland.
