Section 99: Parliamentary consideration of status of non-devolved provisions of this Act

Coronavirus Act 2020 · 2020 c. 7View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 2: Final provisions

This section applies where the substantive operational period of this Act is longer than the period of one year beginning with the day on which this Act is passed.

A Minister of the Crown must make arrangements for—

a motion in neutral terms, to the effect that the House of Commons has considered the one-year status report, to be moved in that House by a Minister of the Crown within the period of 14 Commons sitting days beginning with the day after the end of the sixth reporting period, and
a motion for the House of Lords to take note of the one-year status report to be moved in that House by a Minister of the Crown within the period of 14 Lords sitting days beginning with the day after the end of the sixth reporting period.

The "one-year status report" is the report required to be prepared by the Secretary of State under section 97 in respect of the sixth reporting period.

In this section—

  • "Commons sitting day" means a day on which the House of Commons is sitting (and a day is only a day on which the House of Commons is sitting if the House begins to sit on that day);

  • "Lords sitting day" means a day on which the House of Lords is sitting (and a day is only a day on which the House of Lords is sitting if the House begins to sit on that day);

  • "reporting period" and "substantive operational period of this Act" have the same meaning as in section 97.
