Draft affirmative Non-fatal motion to object to the instrument rejected
Instruments subject to the draft affirmative procedure are laid in draft and require approval in Parliament before being signed into law. Instruments concerning taxation are not laid in the Lords and only require the approval of the Commons. The Commons debates the instrument in a Delegated Legislation Committee or in the Commons Chamber, where a decision on approval is made. The Lords debates the instrument in Grand Committee or in the Lords Chamber, where a decision on approval is made.

A non-fatal motion does not stop a statutory instrument being law but may be used by either House to indicate concern. The most common non-fatal motion in the Lords is a motion to regret. The motion usually gives specific reasons for the regret. Even if agreed, the motion cannot stop or amend the statutory instrument, but gives members an opportunity to put on record their dissent.
