The period specified under subsection (1)(c)—

must begin with the date on which the notice is given to the body, and

On the expiry of that period, the Secretary of State must decide whether to make the revocation order or (as the case may be) partial revocation order in relation to the body.

The Secretary of State must give notice of the decision to the body.

Where the Secretary of State decides to make the order, the notice under subsection (5) must specify—
