Under House of Lords Standing Order 72, no motion for a resolution of the House to approve a remedial affirmative instrument shall be made unless the instrument has been considered by the Joint Committee on Human Rights. Standing Order 72 can be dispensed with to allow motions to approve affirmative instruments. This usually only applies to emergency legislation.
