Does the Limitation Act 1980 apply to criminal acts before 1980?

According to the Wikipedia page for the Limitation Act 1980, fraudulent breach of trust can be prosecuted any amount of time after the crime. However, I was wondering if this applies to crimes committed before the limitation act was passed.

In other words, if I had committed a fraudulent breach of trust in 1975; could be taken to court in 2017?
