Editorial Update/Textual Amendments/Substitutions/Higher Level Substitutions
Unequal substitutions of whole provisions
More for less
A substitution of provisions where there will be more provisions than there were previously (for example see 1992 c. 13 ss. 27-27C, which were substituted for s. 27 by 2011 c. 21, Sch. 12 para. 7).

Instructions
If one of the provisions is to be substituted by the same numbered provision (as s. 27 is in the example cited):
- Substitute that provision only, as per the normal whole provision substitution procedure;
- NB this may apply to more than one of the target provisions;
- Insert the additional provisions at the appropriate parent level.
If none of the provisions to be “substituted in” share the same number as the existing provision/s to be “substituted out”:
- Repeal the existing provision;
- Insert the new provisions at the appropriate parent level.

Tips
- All of the amendments (whether substitutions, insertions or repeals) should be completed using the same update task and therefore end up with identical annotations.
- Where higher level provisions such as Schedules or Parts are replaced by new Schedules or Parts that do not share the same number (for example, see 2006 c. 32, Schs. 7A, 7B which were substituted for Sch. 7 by 2017 c. 4, Sch. 1), refer it to a reviewer to pass on to TSO.
Do not
- Directly “substitute in” multiple new P1 provisions for an existing P1 provision because it will cause xml fragment id issues which will make the new P1s inaccessible from the Table of Contents.
- Copy and paste the new provisions (e.g. ss. 27A-27C) after the substituted provision (e.g. s. 27) and then move the closing bracket to the end of the range, as newly inserted provisions (e.g., in the case cited, ss. 27A-27C) which share the same amendment brackets as the substitution of the same numbered provision (e.g. s. 27), give rise to false altdates and therefore an incorrect timeline in the newly inserted provisions.
Less for more
A substitution of provisions where there will be fewer provisions than there were previously.

If one of the provisions is to be substituted by the same numbered provision:
- Substitute that provision only, as per the normal whole provision substitution procedure;
- NB this may apply to more than one of the target provisions;
- Repeal the provisions which are to be "substituted out" without replacement.

Tips
- All of the amendments (whether substitutions, insertions or repeals) should be completed using the same update task and therefore end up with identical annotations.
- An example of a “more for less” substitution is 1961 c. 33, ss. 6A-6E which were substituted for ss. 6-9 by 2017 c. 20, s. 32(3). This example illustrates how we have had to repeal ss. 6-9 and insert ss. 6A-6E because none of the provisions involved in this unequal substitution share the same numbers.
Do not
- Directly substitute an existing provision (e.g. s. 6 in the above example) with a new provision which has a different number (e.g. s. 6A) because this will remove the original provision from the Table of Contents and cause confusion with the xml fragment ids.
