Made negative Motion to consider the instrument tabled

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).

House of Commons

A step of type Business step.

A 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. Often this is agreed without a vote. Even if the Committee votes against the motion, the statutory instrument can still proceed to its next stage. This is because the motion is simply about whether the Committee has considered the statutory instrument.
