Made affirmative Written statement invoking the urgent procedure set out in Paragraph 14(6) of Schedule 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018
Instruments subject to the made affirmative procedure are signed into law before being laid in Parliament but require approval from Parliament within a specified period. There are different types of made affirmative SIs: the most common type of made affirmative SI comes into force before it is approved (and can come into force before it is laid) but cannot remain in force unless it is approved by Parliament within a specified period. Another rarer type of made affirmative SI is laid after being made but cannot come into force unless the instrument is approved by Parliament. The relevant procedure and the length of the approval period is defined in the parent Act.
Follows the calculation style Bicameral instruments (clock stops if both Houses rise).
A step of type Business step.
Paragraph 14 of Schedule 8 of the EU Withdrawal Act 2018 sets out an enhanced procedure whereby a published draft of an instrument must be published 28 days before the instrument is laid before Parliament. Under (6) there is an allowance for Government to bypass this procedure for urgency and lay an instrument. They must provide a written statement to Parliament to inform them of why they have bypassed the procedure.
