A quick definition of close debate:

Close Debate: A rule in parliamentary law that allows a group to stop discussing a topic and move on to voting. It is also known as "previous question." This rule was created to prevent unwanted discussions and debates. If the group votes in favor of closing the debate, they will immediately vote on the topic at hand. If they vote against it, the discussion will continue. This rule is also called "vote immediately." It is different from "extend debate" and "limit debate."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Close debate is a parliamentary procedure used to end discussion and voting on a particular topic or question. It is also known as the "previous question" motion.

Example: During a meeting, a member of the group proposes a new policy. After a lengthy discussion, another member makes a motion to close debate. If the motion passes, the group will immediately vote on the proposed policy without any further discussion.

This example illustrates how close debate can be used to bring a discussion to a close and move towards a decision. It is a useful tool for preventing endless debate and ensuring that decisions are made in a timely manner.
