minor attains the age of 16; and where a supervision order is made at a time
when the parents of the minor are residing together-

   (a)  the order may direct that it is to cease to have effect if for a
        period of 3 months after it is made they continue to reside together;
        and

   (b)  the order (whether or not it includes a direction under paragraph (a))
        may direct that it is not to operate while they are residing together.
        [cf. 1973 c. 29 s. 3(2) U.K.]

(2) A supervision order may be varied, discharged, suspended or revived after
being so suspended by a subsequent order made on the application of either
parent or after the death of either parent, on the application of any guardian
under this Ordinance or (before or after the death of either parent) on the
application of any other person having the custody of the minor by virtue of
an order under section 10(1) or on that of the Director of Social Welfare when
he has the supervision of the minor by virtue of the order. (Amended 65 of
