HOUSE OF LORDS - United Kingdom Parliament

(b) the Hybrid Instruments Committee has reported that no
petitioner has a locus standi, or that there ought not to be an
inquiry by a select committee; or
(c) the House has decided not to refer any matter to a select
committee; or
(d) the select committee has reported to the House.
10.41 Where proceedings under private business SO 216 have not been
completed in respect of an instrument which has expired or lapsed, a
further instrument to substantially the same effect may be substituted for
the purposes of those proceedings.
Expedited hybrid instruments
10.42 A hybrid instrument which, by virtue of the Act authorising it to
be made, is, after the expiry of a period prescribed by that Act, to
proceed in Parliament as if its provisions would, apart from that Act,
require to be enacted by a public bill that is not hybrid, is known as an
expedited hybrid instrument. 1 The procedure for such an instrument
differs from that applicable to other hybrid instruments in several
respects. A petition not to affirm an expedited hybrid instrument must be
deposited within ten days following the day on which the instrument is
laid. If the Hybrid Instruments Committee is of the opinion that there
ought to be a further inquiry, it conducts that inquiry itself forthwith.
10.43 No motion to approve an expedited hybrid instrument may be
moved until the proceedings under private business SO 216A have been
completed, that is until the Chairman of Committees or the Hybrid
Instruments Committee has reported, or the period prescribed by the
parent Act has expired.
Special procedure orders
10.44 The procedure for special procedure orders is laid down by the
Statutory Orders (Special Procedure) Act 1945, as amended by the
Statutory Orders (Special Procedure) Act 1965, supplemented by the
private business standing orders of both Houses. That Act applies:
1 PBSO 216A.
