"What happens to your provisional licence when the law changes"

Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You have a provisional licence under the old Act. When the new Act starts, you are deemed to have a provisional licence under the new Act, which is Part 2. This new licence has the same expiry date as your old one. Your new licence lets you do the same work you could do before. It also has the same conditions and restrictions as your old licence. You can renew your licence under Part 2 of the new Act. The Board or Registrar can still cancel or suspend your licence. They can also use any other power they have under the new Act to manage your licence.
