The Secretary of State may revoke a temporary exclusion order at any time.
(5)

departing from the United Kingdom.
(8)
The imposition of a temporary exclusion order does not prevent a further temporary exclusion order from being imposed on the excluded individual (including in a case where an order ceases to be in force at the expiry of its two year duration).
