Made negative Motion (prayer) to stop the instrument being law rejected
Instruments subject to the made negative procedure do not require approval in Parliament before becoming law. These instruments may come into force on any date after being laid. Instruments concerning taxation are not laid in the Lords. Either House may pass a motion within the objection period which annuls the instrument and stops it having effect.
Follows the calculation style Bicameral instruments (clock stops if both Houses rise).
A step of type Business step.
A statutory instrument laid under the negative procedure becomes law on the day the Minister signs it and automatically remains law unless a motion – or ‘prayer’ – to reject it is agreed by either House within 40 sitting days of the instrument being laid.
