When another member has the floor, is the motion to Withdraw a Motion out of order?

When another member has the floor, the motion to withdraw a motion is indeed in order. This is because the member who wishes to withdraw their motion is allowed to do so regardless of whether or not another member is speaking. The right to withdraw a motion is a privilege of the mover and does not require the consent of the assembly or the floor holder.

This procedure allows for flexibility in discussions; a member may recognize that their motion is no longer relevant or has been superseded by events during the meeting. Since a motion to withdraw is not considered debate or a separate action that interrupts the ongoing discussion, it can be made while another member has the floor. This ensures that the assembly can efficiently manage its business without unnecessary formalities.
