Statement by the Chair that there can be no further debate on the instrument Procedures with step depth
A step of type Business step.
In the House of Commons a debate is only expected to occur once on a statutory instrument. The debate in a Delegated Legislation Committee takes place on a motion that “the Committee has considered” the statutory instrument. At the end of the debate, the Committee has to decide whether it agrees with the motion that it has considered the statutory instrument. On 30/01/2023, an instrument did not have its motion to consider formally moved. Instead, it was held over until 06/02/2023. As the instrument had already been debated the Chair of the DLC made a brief statement to say there would be no further debate on the instrument and the question would be immediately put.
There is 1 procedure.

Statement by the Chair that there can be no further debate on the instrument has step depth 11.1000003814697 in the Made affirmative procedure
Instruments subject to the made affirmative procedure are signed into law before being laid in Parliament but require approval from Parliament within a specified period. There are different types of made affirmative SIs: the most common type of made affirmative SI comes into force before it is approved (and can come into force before it is laid) but cannot remain in force unless it is approved by Parliament within a specified period. Another rarer type of made affirmative SI is laid after being made but cannot come into force unless the instrument is approved by Parliament. The relevant procedure and the length of the approval period is defined in the parent Act.
