House of Commons agrees to the affirmative procedure Procedures
A step of type Business step.
The way legislative reform orders are scrutinised is not fixed. When ministers lay a draft legislative reform order, they propose what level of scrutiny it should face. For the House of Commons to agree to the affirmative procedure a committee can either agree with the Minister's recommendation, or the committee may decide the recommended negative procedure should be upgraded to the affirmative or the House can resolve against a Committee's decision to upgrade to a super-affirmative procedure.
There is 1 procedure.

Legislative Reform Order
Legislative Reform Orders (LROs) are a specific type of delegated legislation that the Government can use to remove or reduce burdens that result directly or indirectly from legislation, or to promote principles of better regulation. They are made under terms set out in the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 and are subject to scrutiny by a special committee in each House.
