(b) it appears to the local health authority as respects any premises or person registered under the said section one, that circumstances exist which would justify a refusal under subsection (3) or subsection (4) of that section to register the premises or person,

the local health authority may by order cancel the registration:

Provided that where a requirement to carry out repairs or make alterations or additions has been imposed under paragraph, (c) of subsection (4) of section two of this Act, the registration of the premises shall not be cancelled by virtue of paragraph (b) of this section on the grounds that the premises are not fit to be used for the reception of children if—

(i) the time limited by subsection (7) of the said section two for complying with the requirement has not expired, and

(ii) it is shown that the condition of the premises is due to the repairs not having been carried out or the alterations or additions not having been made.
