A step of type Business step.
A statutory instrument laid under the draft negative procedure cannot be made into law (signed by the minister) if either House approves a motion - or a 'prayer' - to stop the instrument becoming law within 40 sitting days of the instrument being laid. In the Commons, such motions are usually tabled as an Early Day Motion.
