33. Procedure for making excisions and alterations---(1) In any case
 to which section 32 of this Act applies, the Classification Office shall
 notify the authorised distributor of the film of---
   (a) The classification that the Classification Office would give to
         the film if any specified part or parts of the film were excised
         or altered to the satisfaction of the Classification Office; and
   (b) The classification that the Classification Office would give to
         the film if the specified part or parts of the film were not
         excised or altered to the satisfaction of the Classification
         Office.

   (2) If the authorised distributor of the film agrees to each such
 excision or alteration to the satisfaction of the Classification Office,
 the Classification Office shall classify that film in accordance with
 section 23 of this Act as if each of the required excisions and
 alterations were made.

   (3) If the authorised distributor of the film refuses or fails, within
 20 working days after the date of the Classification Office's notice, or
 within such further period as the Classification Office may allow, to
 agree to any such alteration or excision to the satisfaction of the
 Classification Office, the Classification Office shall classify the film
 in accordance with section 23 of this Act.

   (4) If the authorised distributor of the film agrees to some but not
 all of the excisions or alterations, the Classification Office shall
 classify the film in accordance with section 23 of this Act as if the
 excisions and alterations agreed to by the authorised distributor of the
 film had been made.

   (5) In determining whether to exercise, or in exercising, the
 Classification Office's powers under this section in respect of any
 film, the Classification Office may consider the effect that any such
 excision or alteration may have on the continuity of the film or on its
 overall effect.
