When the Animal Welfare Act 1999 started, you became a member of the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee if you were already on the Animal Welfare Advisory Committee mentioned in section 186(1). You stayed a member until your term ended, unless you left the committee sooner under clause 2 of Schedule 1. This meant you were part of the new committee established by section 56.

If you were on the National Animal Ethics Advisory Committee before the Act started, you became a member of the new National Animal Ethics Advisory Committee established by section 62. You stayed a member until your term ended, unless you left the committee sooner under clause 2 of Schedule 1. This applied to people who were appointed under section 19A(5) of the Animals Protection Act 1960.
