Enhanced affirmative: Investigatory Powers Act 2016 Further information published by the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee (SLSC)
Instruments subject to the enhanced affirmative procedure under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 are laid in draft and require approval in Parliament before being signed into law. Unlike the normal draft affirmative procedure, instruments laid under the enhanced affirmative procedure are subject to a clock period of 40 or 60 days. 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.
Follows the calculation style Bicameral instruments (clock stops if both Houses rise).
