.—(1) Subsection (2) of section (Notaries) and the repeal by this Act of the provisions relating to the serving of apprenticeships mentioned in subsection (3) of that section shall not have effect in relation to any person who, at the date on which subsection (2) of that section comes into force, is serving such an apprenticeship.

(2) The Master of the Faculties may make rules providing—

  1. (a) for a reduction in the period of apprenticeship of any person to whom this paragraph applies with a view to securing that no such person is required to undertake a period of training longer than the period which he would have been required to undertake, by virtue of rules made by the Master, had he started his training after the commencement of subsection (2) of section (Notaries); or
  2. (b) for all such apprenticeships to be brought to an end on such day as may be prescribed.'.
