“ The Attorney General shall not be required to prepare or publish a booklet containing a new revised edition of any Ordinance, imperial enactment, treaty or convention that has been amended or varied if he considers that the amendments or variations are not sufficiently extensive to justify the preparation and publication thereof, but all such amendments and variations shall be contained in a separate booklet of minor amendments and indicated in the annual index. ”

“ Whenever in any Ordinance, or in any document of whatever kind, any reference is made to any provision of any Ordinance affected by or under the operation of this Ordinance, the reference shall, where necessary and practicable, be construed as a reference to the corresponding provision in the revised edition or in any booklet published under section 13. ”

“ Every order made under this section shall be laid on the table of the Legislative Council without unreasonable delay, and, if a resolution is passed at the next meeting of the Legislative Council held after the meeting at which the order is so laid that the order be annulled, it shall thenceforth be void, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done thereunder, or to the making of a new order. ”
