If the Governor-General in Council is satisfied with respect to any naturalized British subject that it is expedient for the welfare or defence of the realm, or the peace and good government of New Zealand, or otherwise on grounds of public policy, that the naturalization of that person should be revoked, he may, by Order in Council, declare that the naturalization of the said person shall be revoked, and that the said person shall cease to be a British subject naturalized in New Zealand as from a date to be specified in that Order in Council, and every such Order shall have effect according to its tenor.

(2.)

Unless otherwise expressly provided therein, an Order in Council revoking the naturalization of any person shall not affect the nationality of the wife or of any child of that person.
