From the Interpretation Acts 1978:
1. This Act, which came into force on 1 January 1979, consolidates the Interpretation Act 1889 and certain other enactments relating to the construction and operation of Acts of Parliament and other instruments.
2. Section 6 provides that words importing the masculine gender include the feminine (and vice versa).
