The Governor may, at any time, by proclamation published in the Gazette, fix a day as the day on which the adoption is to terminate.
A day fixed under subsection (1) must be no earlier than the first day after the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the day on which the proclamation is published under that subsection.
The Governor may, by proclamation published in the Gazette, revoke a proclamation published under subsection (1), in which case the revoked proclamation is taken (for the purposes of section 6) never to have been published.
A revoking proclamation has effect only if published before the day fixed under subsection (1).
The revocation of a proclamation published under subsection (1) does not prevent publication of a further proclamation under that subsection.
