Motion to take note of the instrument not called
A step of type Business step.
The House of Lords provides for debates to take note of a particular issue, without coming to a decision. The motion for the debate can be on any subject, but the phrasing of the motion itself must be neutral in terms. 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.
Librarian notes
Scope note: A motion not being called will usually mean it is on the Order Paper to be debated or moved (either alone or en bloc with similar motions) but for whatever reason the motion has not been called at all. We notice it by its omission, a comparison of what is due to happen on the Order Paper and what did happen in the Lords Minutes of Proceedings.
