Carry-over motion
In the Parliament of the United Kingdom, a carry-over motion or carry-over bill is a form of motion. Ordinarily a bill that does not receive Royal Assent by the end of the Parliamentary session fails; to become an Act, it must be re-introduced in the following session. A carry-over motion allows the bill to continue its progress at the start of the following session rather than having to start the legislative process again. The bill can still fail notwithstanding a carry-over if an early election is called. Some restrictions apply: Carry-over
