Motion that Standing Order 73 be dispensed with to enable motion to approve to be moved not moved
Under House of Lords Standing Order 73, no motion for a resolution of the House to approve an affirmative instrument shall be made unless the instrument has been considered by either the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments, the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee or the Joint Committee on Human Rights. Standing Order 73 can be dispensed with to allow motions to approve affirmative instruments. This usually only applies to emergency legislation.
Suspension of this SO removes the bar on tabling an approval motion before reporting. In other words, the approval motion can be be moved despite the committee not having yet reported.
