Motion calling on the Government to extend objection period A not called
A step of type Business step.
In the House of Lords, Members can table a motion to extend objection period A. A motion to extend, if tabled and passed within 21 days (Period A - subject to extension) of the treaty being laid, does not have to be actioned or acknowledged by the Government. 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.
