Because a #commencementorder is secondary legislation it would not be covered by it and could be blocked indefinitely if the #houseoflords chose. Whether it would is another matter.

That is my understanding of the current situation. And parliament can block a commencement order if it wishes. Although it is unlikely that the #houseofcommons would do so the #houseoflords could do so by what is known as a #prayer . That is to say it can "pray against" secondary legislation - and this has indefinite effect.

"My experience of going to the #HouseOfCommons... is that the threshold of understanding of even the most basic stuff about agriculture, and soil and #carbon sequestration, just is not there. There is not the intellectual capacity or expertise in... parliament... to make informed critical decisions" – Maddy Harland, editor of Permaculture, interviewed by @Eceni

“It is a startling fact that more MPs have been sanctioned by the Commons and/or resigned their seats in disgrace in this parliament than in any other in history.”

It was just six pages, Rishi. Some of which was front-matter. I can give you a single-page precis if that would help…

93 followers · 2115 posts · Server union.placeThe next step up would be for someone - presumably either the #lordpresident #pennymordaunt or the #PrimeMinister #RishiSunak - to recommend to the #king that he be removed from the #privycouncil . I had assumed that this had happened only in the cases of former #cabinetmnisters jailed for criminal offences - such as #jonathanaitken and #chrishuhne I have since found out that this also happened to #johnprofumo sixty years ago after he had admitted lying to the #HouseofCommons .

93 followers · 2111 posts · Server union.placeA quick recap of where we are on #BorisJohnson.
The #PrivilegesCommittee report has come out and has recommended both a 90 day suspension and denial of a #HouseofCommons #pass. It did decide not to recommend #expulsion.
There will now be a "free" - which means not whipped - vote on the recommendations on Monday 19th June.
There remains scope for further sanctions on #BorisJohnson - and indeed some of his more vocal supporters. I listed them earlier and will do so again.
