Aprayer motion is a method by which a member of theUKHouse of Lords or theHouse of Commons can object to or comment onsecondary legislation.[1][2] Prayer Motions in the House of Commons typically take the form of anEarly Day Motion. A fatal prayer must be tabled within 40 days from the introduction of theStatutory Instrument to annul the Instrument.[2] A "fatal motion" can end the parliamentary legislation process, forcing the government to start again if they wish to re-introduce the legislation.[3] A "motion to regret" allows members of the Lords to express their opposition to legislation without stopping it.[4] A "motion to take note" allows the expression of opinion without implying disapproval.[5]
