(a)such community councils,
(b)such representatives of community councils, and
(c)such other persons (if any),
as appear to the Welsh Ministers to be likely to be affected by the proposals.
(3)If, following that consultation, the Welsh Ministers wish to proceed with the proposals they must lay before the National Assembly for Wales a document which—
(a)explains the proposals,
(b)sets them out in the form of a draft order, and
(c)gives details of the consultation under subsection (2).
(4)No draft of an order under section 127 to give effect to the proposals (“the final draft order”) may be laid before the Assembly in accordance with section 172(2)(b) until after the expiry of the period of 60 days beginning with the day on which the document relating to the proposals was laid before the National Assembly for Wales under subsection (3).
