Ministerial statement under Section 22 of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010: Section 20 does not apply

Allows a Minister to certify that a treaty can be ratified although it has not met the requirements of section 20 of CRAG. It applies in ‘exceptional circumstances’. These are not defined. The only restriction on a Minister using the power under section 22 is if either House has already resolved that the treaty should not be ratified.
