Made negative Non-fatal motion (prayer) to object to the instrument approved

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 non-fatal motion (prayer) does not stop a statutory instrument being law but may be used by either House to indicate concern. In the Commons, a prayer motion tabled outside the 40 sitting days period is non-fatal as it can only object to the instrument, rather than stop it.
