Scrutiny reserve for the Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) dispensed with
A step of type Business step.
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.
Librarian notes
Scope note: Suspension of this SO removes the bar on moving an approval motion before reporting. In other words, the approval motion can be be moved despite the JCHR not having yet reported.
