They amend sections 53(2) and (4) (listed buildings) and 267(9) (local inquiries) of the 1972 Act. In consequence all the amendments to the 1972 Act made by the 1986 Act will be in force, apart from the inadvertent repeal of section 273(9) of the 1972 Act which has not been commenced.\nThe Order also brings into force a number of other minor repeals.\nThis is the final commencement order for Scotland relating to the 1986 Act.",
