closure

Method of bringing a question under discussion to an immediate decision in Parliamentary procedure. It was introduced in 1881 by William Gladstone to combat the obstructive tactics of the Irish Nationalist party, and was embodied in a permanent standing order in 1887.

Clôture was the name applied to it in the French assembly and by which it was sometimes called when first introduced in the UK.
