In the House of Lords, Members can table a motion to not ratify a treaty subject to the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 procedure.

Scope note: This will usually follow a debate and the question being put. Note that this does not conclude the procedure like a similar motion in the statutory instrument procedures would, the likelihood is a following ministerial statement.
