Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill — 21 Oct 2005 at 13:49
The issue was to read the
Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill a Second Time, which would move it to the next stage of the Parliamentary process.
This Bill is about abolishing the Royal Prerogative of the Prime Minister to declare war without the approval of Parliament. It was officially supported by 221 MPs who signed the Early Day Motion 85 of 2005-05-17.
However, during the debate, the Bill was talked-out of session and rescheduled to continue on Friday 10 March 2006. This vote was an attempt to force a closure on the debate (by moving that "The Question be now Put"), but it was lost because fewer than 100 members voted in favour of it. This rule is listed in Standing Order 37. A more detailed explanation of the process for Private Member Bills is here.
