If before the commencement of section 136 any statement was made by or on behalf of the Secretary of State—
that, if that section were then in force, he would make under that section such determinations as are set out in the statement, and
that, when that section comes into force, he is to be regarded as having made under that section the determinations set out in the statement,
those determinations shall have effect as if they had been validly made under that section at the time of the statement.
Any consultation undertaken—
before the commencement of section 136,
before the making of such a statement as is mentioned in subsection (4), and
in connection with determinations proposed to be set out in the statement,
shall be as effective, in relation to those determinations, as if that section had been in force at the time the consultation was undertaken.
