Provisions
Section 1 of the act detailed how the act would function, and what it did or did not apply to. Some of the provisions were that the act did not affect hereditary Royal revenues (Subsection 1, paragraph 5), and that the act did not apply retrospectively (Subsection 1, paragraph 6). [2]
Section 3 of the act provides that the sections specified in the first column of the fourth schedule to that act have effect, and are deemed always to have had effect, as if the references in this Schedule, to the words and subsection respectively referred of those sections which are specified in the second column of the fourth schedule to that act had been omitted from this act. [2]
Section 4 of the act reads "In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, the expression “enactment” includes an enactment comprised in Church Assembly Measure." This meant that the act, and the provisions of it, such as the repeal of a previous act, also applied to the acts of the Church Assembly, since changes to church governance or practice had to be done by an act of parliament due to the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919 (9 & 10 Geo. 5. c. 76) . [2]
