The whole act so far as it related to
collieries were repealed by section 126 of, and the fourth schedule to, the
Coal Mines Act 1911 (
1 & 2 Geo. 5. c. 50), which came into operation on 1 July 1912. The whole act was repealed by section 189 of, and the fifth schedule to, the
Mines and Quarries Act 1954 (
2 & 3 Eliz. 2. c. 70), which came into operation on 1 January 1957. By such time the act was out of date and was no longer necessary due to the stronger provisions in the
Employment of Women, Young Persons, and Children Act 1920 (
10 & 11 Geo. 5. c. 65). ==See also==
