may be specified in the order, substitute for the closing hours fixed for any
week day (including the weekly half-holiday and the late day) by or under the
two preceding sections of this Act such later hours as they may think fit if,
upon application being made to them for an order under this section, they are
satisfied that such an order is desired by the occupiers of the majority of
the shops to be affected by the order:

Provided that the [district council] shall not in any year by orders under
this sub-section substitute later hours for the closing hours fixed for any
week day by or under the said two preceding sections of this Act, for periods
exceeding four months in the aggregate in that year.

(a)may be made so as to apply to the whole or to any part of the [district of
the district council], and to all shops, or to shops of any class, within that
[district] or part; and

(b)shall be made subject to such conditions as the [district council] may
consider necessary for securing that a person shall not be employed in or
about the business of a shop affected by the order for more than such number
of hours (not exceeding the number of hours of employment permitted under Part
II of this Act) as may be specified by the order; and

(c)may suspend the operation of any closing order made under the said two
preceding sections of this Act which is, for the time being, in force in the
