The exception is the Thames Valley Police Amalgamation Scheme 1968 (S.I. 1968/496), which continues to have effect on and after 1st April 1974 as provided in the Thames Valley Police Amalgamation Scheme (Modification) Order 1974 (S.I. 1974/339).\nArticle 3, with effect from the same date, revokes the Police (Adaptation of Enactments) (Gloucester) Order 1965, which amended section 13 of the Gloucester Corporation Act 1945 (9 & 10 Geo. 6 c. ix). (That section ceases to have effect, by virtue of subsection (2) thereof, on the agreement of 19th May 1939 for the consolidation of the Gloucester and Gloucestershire police forces lapsing in consequence of the repeal of paragraph 7 of Schedule 11 to the Police Act 1964 (c. 48) by the Local Government Act 1972).",
