  (b)   the resolution must be passed, in pursuance of the motion, within 15 sitting days of that House after the giving of that notice.

  (3)   If neither House passes such a resolution, the determination takes effect on the day immediately after the last day upon which such a resolution could have been passed if it were assumed that notice of a motion to disallow the determination was given in each House on the last day of the 15 sitting day period of that House mentioned in paragraph   (2)(a).

  (i)   the notice has not been withdrawn and the motion has not been called on; or

  (ii)   the motion has been called on, moved and (where relevant) seconded and has not been withdrawn or otherwise disposed of;

the determination is then taken to have been disallowed, and subsection   (3) does not apply to the determination.

  (4)   Section   42 (disallowance) of the Legislation Act 2003 does not apply to the determination.
