Draft negative Objection period ends

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 step of type Business step.

The time available for the House(s) to object to a negative instrument if they wish. The objection period is defined in legislation as how long the House had to take action, usually 40 calendar days from when the instrument is laid and the House(s) are not in a recess of more than four days. During the objection period instruments can be withdrawn or revoked, while procedure concludes at that point it does not affect the objection period end date.
