Motion (prayer) to stop the instrument being law tabled

A statutory instrument laid under the negative procedure becomes law on the day the Minister signs it and automatically remains law unless a motion – or ‘prayer’ – to reject it is agreed by either House within 40 sitting days of the instrument being laid. In the Commons, such motions are usually tabled as an Early Day Motion.
