This means Parliament will take no legislative action to remove Andrew's peerages. The peerage will become extinct on his death ...unless he remarries and has a son.
If Andrew dies without male issue, the title reverts to the Crown ... just as it reverted to the Crown when George V and George VI succeeded to the thrones - and when Frederick duke of York died ....
It would be quite odd, if Andrew were to re-marry and the new spouses won't be able to style her self, HRH and Duchess of York. Though, if they have a son, (naturally not through a surrogate) the son succeeds Andrew as the Duke of York.

Sorry, American ignorance showing here. Does this mean there will be no future Duke of York?
