Okay, but most of the transition provisions we have dealt with recognise there will be a period between the ending of the old Act and the enactment of the new Act and therefore during that interregnum the old Act applies. In this section the Minister of State is actually saying it is a definite two-year period. Does this mean these provisions will not be enacted for two years or could they be enacted earlier? What happens when we have the new provisions and a transitional mechanism with the old provisions?
