Article 5 Transitional provisions

In the period until subsection (4) of section 68 of the 1976 Act is repealed, a young person buying or attempting to buy alcohol in the circumstances specified in paragraph (2) commits no offence under section 105(1) of the Act.

Those circumstances are that the purchase or attempted purchase is one which, had subsection (2) of section 68 of the 1976 Act remained fully in force, would by virtue of subsection (4) of that section not have constituted an offence.
