Motion to stop the instrument becoming law not called
A step of type Business step.
A statutory instrument laid under the draft affirmative procedure cannot be made into law (signed by the minister) if the House of Lords approves a motion to stop the instrument becoming law. A motion not having been called is when the motion is on the Order Paper for that day but did not occur. It may or may not be called on a future date.
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 in the Lords Minutes of Proceedings.
