2. Subsection (1) of section 10 of, and Schedule 3 to, the Consumer Safety Act 1978 shall come into force on 1st October 1987 for the purpose of repealing, in so far as they are not already so repealed, the enactments mentioned in the first and second columns of that Schedule to the extent specified in the third column of that Schedule.

23rd September 1987
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force on 1st October 1987 section 10(1) of, and Schedule 3 to, the Consumer Safety Act 1978 for the purpose of completing the repeal of the legislation set out in Schedule 3 to, the 1978 Act.
The principal repeals brought into force are those of the Consumer Protection Act 1961 (c. 40) and the Consumer Protection Act (Northern Ireland) 1965 (c. 14 (N.I.)).
The previous Commencement Orders were (i) the Consumer Safety Act 1978 (Commencement No. 1) Order 1978 (S.I. 1978/1445), which brought into force on 1st November 1978 all the provisions of the 1978 Act, with the exception of section 10(1) and Schedule 3, and (ii) the Consumer Safety Act 1978 (Commencement No. 2) Order 1986 (S.I. 1986/1297) which brought into force on 8th August 1986 that section and Schedule for the purpose of repealing section 3(2A) and (2B) of the 1961 Act and section 3(3) and (4) of the 1965 Act (together with legislation amending those provisions).
This Order therefore completes the bringing into force of the 1978 Act.
It should be noted that the 1978 Act is itself repealed on 1st October 1987 by section 48 of, and Schedule 5 to, the Consumer Protection Act 1987. The relevant Commencement Order is the Consumer Protection Act 1987 (Commencement No. 1) Order 1987 (S.I. 1987/1680).
