1948 and 1949

This article does not make it clear how the 1949 act differs from the 1948 one. In fact the two articles are almost identical and imply that both acts did the same thing, which seems unlikely. Please can somebody clarify this? Was the 1949 act was just to tidy up loose ends left in 1948? If so, what were these? --DanielRigal 00:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The 1949 Act was a consolidation measure so it repealed and re-enacted much that had been in the 1948 Act. It made a few changes as well. Sam Blacketer (talk) 11:36, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
