Part II

(4) Subject to subsections (3) and (6), where any warrant for the
carrying out of intrusive surveillance which is issued or was last renewed
on the application of a member of any of the intelligence services, the
warrant (unless renewed or, as the case may be, renewed again) shall cease
to have effect at the following time, instead of at the time provided for by
section 43(3), namely—
(a) in the case of a warrant that has not been renewed, at the end of
the period of six months beginning with the day on which it was
issued; and
(b) in any other case, at the end of the period of six months
beginning with the day on which it would have ceased to have
effect if not renewed again.
(5) Subject to subsection (6), where—
(a) an authorisation for the carrying out of directed surveillance is
granted by a member of any of the intelligence services, and
(b) the authorisation is renewed by an instrument endorsed under
the hand of the person renewing the authorisation with a
statement that the renewal is believed to be necessary on
grounds falling within section 32(3)(a) or (c),
the authorisation (unless renewed again) shall cease to have effect at the
end of the period of six months beginning with the day on which it would
have ceased to have effect but for the renewal, instead of at the time
provided for by section 43(3).
(6) The Secretary of State may by order provide in relation to
authorisations of such descriptions as may be specified in the order that
subsection (3), (4) or (5) is to have effect as if the period at the end of which
an authorisation of a description so specified is to cease to have effect were
such period shorter than that provided for by that subsection as may be
fixed by or determined in accordance with that order.
(7) Notwithstanding anything in section 43(2), in a case in which there
is a combined warrant containing both—
(a) an authorisation for the carrying out of intrusive surveillance,
and
(b) an authorisation for the carrying out of directed surveillance,
the reference in subsection (4) of this section to a warrant for the carrying
out of intrusive surveillance is a reference to the warrant so far as it
confers both authorisations.
45.—(1) The person who granted or, as the case may be, last renewed Cancellation of
authorisations.
an authorisation under this Part shall cancel it if—
(a) he is satisfied that the authorisation is one in relation to which
the requirements of section 28(2)(a) and (b), 29(2)(a) and (b) or,
as the case may be, 32(2)(a) and (b) are no longer satisfied; or
(b) in the case of an authorisation under section 29, he is satisfied
that arrangements for the source’s case that satisfy the
requirements mentioned in subsection (2)(c) of that section no
longer exist.
(2) Where an authorisation under this Part was granted or, as the case
may be, last renewed—
(a) by a person entitled to act for any other person, or
