Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends Part III of Schedule 1 to the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975, which lists certain offices which disqualify holders for membership of the House of Commons. These amendments have effect in place of the provisions of the House of Commons Disqualification Order 1986 specified in Article 2(2) of this Order. Those provisions failed to reproduce in certain respects the textual amendments contained in the resolution passed by the House of Commons on 2nd December 1986.
