Draft negative Motion (prayer) to stop the instrument becoming law tabled

Instruments subject to the draft negative procedure are laid in draft and do not require approval in Parliament before being signed in law. Instruments concerning taxation are not laid in the Lords. Either House may pass a motion within the objection period which prevents the instrument being signed into law. The instrument cannot be signed into law by a Minister until the end of the objection period.

A statutory instrument laid under the draft negative procedure cannot be made into law (signed by the minister) if either House approves a motion - or a 'prayer' - to stop the instrument becoming law within 40 sitting days of the instrument being laid. In the Commons, such motions are usually tabled as an Early Day Motion.
