Non-fatal motion to object to the proposal for a draft remedial order not called
A step of type Business step.
Under Schedule 2 of the Human Rights Act 1998, there may be representations made about a proposal for a draft remedial order. One form of representation is a resolution of a House. In the House of Lords, a resolution may take the form of a non-fatal motion. The tabling of a non-fatal motion does not prevent a future draft remedial order being laid but may be used by the House of Lords to indicate concern. The most common non-fatal motion in the Lords is a motion to regret. The motion usually gives specific reasons for the regret. Under Schedule 2 of the Human Rights Act 1998, when a draft remedial order is laid it must be accompanied by a statement containing a summary of representations.
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 on the Lords minutes of proceedings
