A
SUBJECT:
Lord Chitnis is correct in saying that it is a convention
that Orders in Council are not voted on in the House of
Lords. The procedures for dealing with affirmative
Orders in Councils are that the instrument is laid before
both Houses at the same time. The instrument is
considered by the Joint Committee on Statutory
Instruments and will, after consideration, draw attention
to Parliament matters of controversy. A motion and
debate may follow. If the motion in the Commons is
successful the Lords consider the instrument but although
they may debate it, at some length, do not vote. In
greem
cases of serious disagreemnt they may "pray" or express
their disatisfaction against the Order; it does not
affect the confirmation of the Order.
