(3) After that sub-paragraph insert—
“(2) If it appears to Her Majesty that in the circumstances it is desirable to do so, Her Majesty may, before the end of the term for which a person is appointed as non-executive director, extend the person's term of office on one occasion for a specified period of not more than 6 months.
(3) If a person whose term of office is extended under sub-paragraph (2) is subsequently re-appointed as non-executive director—
