Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• An attempt to seek the annulment of the Industrial Training Levy (Road Transport) Order 1970 by the procedural device of putting down a Parliamentary Prayer has fallen by the wayside.

A Prayer was put down by Mr Marcus Fox, Conservative MP for Shipley, who takes a particular interest in transport matters.

But as he tabled it only the day before the time limit for such action of 40 sitting days of Parliament ran out, the Government, it seems, is not giving time for the Ministerial reply which is usual in such cases. Mr Fox will now have to put down another Prayer if he wants to challenge the Order when it next comes up for renewal in July.
