Sorry to be pedantic, but that is wrong. The law, after the amendment, will state:
\5. Sale of animals
(1) No animal of any of the following descriptions may be sold as a pet, or sold with a view to being resold as a pet, by or on behalf of the licence holder:
(a)unweaned mammals;
(b)mammals weaned at an age at which they should not have been weaned;
(c)non-mammals that are incapable of feeding themselves;
(d)puppies, cats, ferrets or rabbits, aged under 8 weeks.
(e)puppies or kittens which were not bred by the licence holder.
(2) The sale of a dog must be completed in the presence of the purchaser on the premises.
(3) In this paragraph, “kitten” means a cat aged less than 6 months.
The amendment is confusing, because it essentially gives a list of diffs rather than the end result so it takes some digging to get the full resulting text of the law. In any case, it's still the case that puppies and kittens can be sold as before. Just not by a third party (if younger than 6 months, otherwise that's still fine too), and not if they are too young or unweaned (which hasn't changed).

The law seemed to both consider all persons as "licensed" under the law, and then to state
Meaning that you cannot sell kittens or puppies in the UK after that date. Not directly, nor indirectly.
