The way legislative reform orders are scrutinised is not fixed. When ministers lay a draft legislative reform order, they propose what level of scrutiny it should face. For the House of Lords to agree to the affirmative procedure the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee can either agree with the Minister's recommendation, or the committee may upgrade a recommendation of a negative procedure to the affirmative, or the House can resolve against the committee's decision to upgrade to a super-affirmative procedure.
