I beg to move amendment No. 293, page 4, leave out line 8 and insert—

'(2A) Section [ Referendum] comes into force on Royal Assent.

(2B) The other provisions of this Act come into force if an affirmative answer has been given to the question asked in a referendum held in accordance with section [ Referendum] and any legal challenge made under an order made under that section has been disposed of by the court or courts in question.'.
