(1)Regulations under section 20 must be framed so that any provision made by them—
(a)has effect only for a period not exceeding six months, or
(b)applies only in relation to circumstances occurring in a period not exceeding six months.
(2)This does not prevent further regulations under section 20 from—

(b)extending (by up to six months) the period for or in relation to which earlier regulations under that section apply.
