Ministerial statement announcing objection period A has been extended (House of Lords)
A step of type Business step.
Government can issue a statement if they wish to extend objection period A of a treaty subject to the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010. The statement can be laid at any point during objection period A as long as a motion to not ratify the treaty has not been approved in either House. The objection period can also be extended multiple times. Alongside the laying of a statement, the government can choose to make a written or oral statement as well.
Librarian notes
Scope note: While the statement is officially laid, it can also be made as an oral or written statement. If librarians see a laying, they should also check to see whether the statement has appeared in another form. This step can be used for oral or written statements. There will also be an equivalent in the House of Lords.
Link note: Link to the statement or Hansard if oral.
