WHEREAS Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second was graciously pleased to approve of the observance in New Zealand of Her birthday in each year of Her reign on the date prescribed by or under this Act instead of the 21st day of April: And whereas legislation is necessary in order that full effect may be given to Her Majesty's pleasure in the matter of the observance of Her birthday.

(c) In respect of every year of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second after the year 1953, be deemed to be a reference to the first Monday in June.
Section 2 was amended by section 234(2)(e) Industrial Relations Act 1973 by substituting the words “collective agreement”
for the words “industrial agreement”
.
The Sovereign's Birthday Observance Act 1937 is hereby repealed.
