57—Restoration of lapsed Bills
(1) When any Bill has
passed its second reading in either House of Parliament, but has not been
finally disposed of at the close of the session, the Bill shall not
necessarily lapse by prorogation, but may, in the next session of the same
Parliament, be restored to the stage reached in the previous session, and
thereinafter proceeded with as if no prorogation had intervened.
(2) The restoration
provided for in this section shall be effected by carrying a motion that the
Bill be restored to the notice paper; and every such motion shall be put to
the vote without debate, unless otherwise provided by the standing orders of
the House in which the motion is made.
