Motion (prayer) to stop the instrument becoming law tabled
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: Will usually appear as the House 'declines to approve the instrument' and will appear in the LBP after laying of an instrument or as an amendment to the approval motion upon scheduling on a debate.
Link note: LBP - ideally the individual link but if missed then the Lords pdf for that day.
Date note: Date tabled
