Non-fatal motion to object to the instrument approved

A non-fatal motion does not stop a statutory instrument being law but may be used by either House to indicate concern. The most common non-fatal motion in the Lords is a motion to regret. The motion usually gives specific reasons for the regret. Even if agreed, the motion cannot stop or amend the statutory instrument, but gives members an opportunity to put on record their dissent.
