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.
