Motion (prayer) to stop the instrument becoming law not called
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.
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 on the Votes & Proceedings.
