Draft affirmative Instrument comes into force as law

1 January 1948 -

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 step of type Business step.

Some instruments come into force when made, but most contain express provision bringing them into force at a later date (if no later date is given, the default assumption is that an instrument comes into force at the moment of making). The time when an instrument comes into force is known as its ‘commencement’
