(2)Before any Order in Council is made under this section, the draft of the Order shall be laid before each House of Parliament, and if either House, within the next subsequent twenty days on which that House has sat next after the draft is laid before it, resolves that an Address be presented to His Majesty against the draft or any part thereof, no further proceedings shall be taken thereon, but without prejudice to the making of a new draft Order.
