Paragraph 21

This paragraph applies in the case of a permit under section 16 of the 1976 Act which expires on or after the second appointed day but before 8 January 2006, where no application for renewal is made before the second appointed day.

Where the permit expires before 9 December 2005 it is to be treated as continuing to have effect until immediately before that date.

Where the application for renewal is made before 9 December 2005 paragraph 16 of Schedule 3 to the 1976 Act is to apply to the application even if it is made less than one month before the date on which the permit is due to expire.
