(b)notice of a proposal to make such an order has been published stating that objections may be made to the appropriate Minister,
and in either case that Minister has not yet given or refused his confirmation of or consent to the order, then, without prejudice to the right of the authority so submitting the order or proposals to withdraw their application for that Minister's confirmation or consent, that order shall not be brought into force or, as the case may be, made except with the consent of that Minister.
