Motion that the treaty should not be ratified withdrawn
A step of type Business step.
In the House of Lords, Members can table a motion to not ratify a treaty subject to the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 procedure. The motion, if approved or rejected, does not stop ratification of the treaty but the Government must provide a statement setting out why the treaty should be nonetheless ratified. The motion can be withdrawn at any point between tabling and the Question being put.
Librarian notes
Scope note: Motions can be withdrawn at anytime before they're debated but they can also be withdrawn at the end of the debate. It is worth keeping an eye on the LBP to make sure the motion hasn't disappeared
Link note: Link depends on the nature of withdrawal, if withdrawn before the debate there is no link, if withdrawn after the debate then the LBP minute.
Date note: Date of Lords Minute/disappearance of motion from LBP
