House of Lords

A step of type Business step.

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