This section prescribes the time limited nature of the temporary amendments made under the power. These may be in place, or apply to circumstances occurring, for a maximum of 6 months, but that period may be extended by repeated use of the power. Subsections (3) and (4) impose a duty on the Secretary of State to keep temporary changes under review, and to revoke them if they are no longer needed or to amend them if circumstances have changed.
