(1) Sections 1 and 2 are repealed immediately after the end of the suspension period (as defined by section 1(3)).

(2) Subsection (3) applies in a case within section 2 where—

(a) the opting-out notice was given less than three months before the end of the suspension period, and

(3) For the purposes of section 41(3) of that Act, the notice period (which, as a result of the repeal made by subsection (1), reverts to being the period of three months beginning with the day on which the notice was given) is to be treated as ending immediately after that repeal.

(4) This Act extends to England and Wales only.
