The enabling provision is Employment Equality Act 1977 (16/1977), s. 14(2), repealed by 21/1998, s. 5(1). Orders made under this provision (s. 14) were stated to remain unaffected as if the section remained in force by 21/1998, s. 5(2).  This provision was repealed (2.08.2011) by 23/2011, s. 20, commenced on enactment. This SI therefore ceased to have effect on repeal of the provision which continued it in force. It should be revoked with effect from 2.08.2011 for clarity.
