(b) a new revised edition of the subsidiary legislation made under or by virtue of any Ordinance, whether or not any part of that subsidiary legislation has been amended during the period of twelve months ending on the preced- ing thirty-first day of December.

(4) Where the Attorney General is of the opinion that it is desirable that corrections, alterations or adaptations shall be made to any Ordinance but that such corrections, alterations or adapta- tions are not sufficiently extensive to justify the preparation and publication of a new revised edition of such Ordinance, he may, in relation to such Ordinance, exercise any of the powers contained in paragraphs (n), (0), (p), (q) and (r) of section 5 and include any corrections, alterations or adaptations occasioned thereby in the booklet of minor amendments prepared and published under sub- section (2).
