Motion tabled that Standing Order 73 be dispensed with to enable motion to approve to be moved
A step of type Business step.
Under House of Lords Standing Order 72, no motion for a resolution of the House to approve an affirmative reform order shall be made unless the instrument has been considered by the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee. Standing Order 72 can be dispensed with to allow motions to approve affirmative instruments. This usually only applies to emergency legislation.
Librarian notes
Scope note: Suspension of this SO removes the bar on tabling an approval motion before reporting. In other words, the approval motion can be be moved despite the DPRRC not having yet reported.
