An Order in Council under section 103(1) must specify the date of the poll at the referendum which it causes to be held.

The Secretary of State may by order vary the date of the poll specified in such an Order in Council (including a date previously set by virtue of this sub-paragraph) if it appears inappropriate for it to be held on that date.

No order may be made under sub-paragraph (2) without the consent of the Welsh Ministers.

A statutory instrument containing an order under sub-paragraph (2) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.
