House of Commons

A step of type Business step.

A non-fatal motion (prayer) does not stop a statutory instrument being law but may be used by either House to indicate concern. In the Commons, a prayer motion tabled outside the 40 sitting days period is non-fatal as it can only object to the instrument, rather than stop it. A motion not having been called is when the motion is on the Order Paper for that day but did not occur. It may or may not be called on a future date.
