Short description: Parliamentary procedure

A prayer motion is a method by which a member of the UK House of Lords can object to or comment on secondary legislation.[1] A "fatal motion" can end the parliamentary legislation process, forcing the government to start again if they wish to re-introduce the legislation.[2] A "motion to regret" allows members of the Lords to express their opposition to legislation without stopping it.[3] A "motion to take note" allows the expression of opinion without implying disapproval.[4]
