Where an application has been submitted to the Lord Chancellor under paragraph 8 of the existing Schedule 4 and at the commencement date the Lord Chancellor has received advice from the Director but not from the Advisory Committee, Part II of the new Schedule 4 shall apply in its entirety, save that the Lord Chancellor shall not be required a second time to seek the advice of the Director.
