And whereas by section one of the said Act it is provided that the said Act shall apply from a date to be specified by me in respect of—

whenever I have declared by Proclamation in the Gazette that in such part of the United Kingdom or in such part of His Majesty's dominions or in such territory (as the case may be) there is in force a law providing for the enforcement therein of maintenance orders made by Courts of the Union.

Now therefore, under and by virtue of the powers vested in me by the said Act, I do hereby declare, proclaim, and make known that in New Zealand, a part of His Majesty's dominions outside the United Kingdom and the Union, there is in force a law—to wit, the Maintenance Orders (Facilities for Enforcement) Act, 1921, providing for the enforcement therein of maintenance orders made by Courts of the Union, and that the said Maintenance Orders Act, 1923, of the Union of South Africa shall apply in respect of New Zealand as from the date of publication hereof.

God save the King!

Given under my Hand and the Great Seal of the Union of South Africa at Capetown this twenty-eighth day of May, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five.
