Motion that the treaty should not be ratified not moved
A step of type Business step.
In the House of Commons, Members can table motions in the form of a "Prayer" to not ratify a treaty subject to the CRaG procedure. A motion to not ratify, if tabled and passed within 21 days (subject to extension) of the treaty being laid, could delay ratification due to a second period (Period B) of scrutiny starting in the House of Commons. Such a motion must be moved before any vote can take place, if it is not moved then it cannot be resolved.
