A quick definition of lay on the table:

Term: Lay on the table

Definition: When a group of people are discussing something, sometimes they need to stop talking about it for a while. When they do this, they can "lay it on the table." This means they are putting it aside for now and will talk about it later. In some places, "lay on the table" means to schedule something to talk about later.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To lay on the table means to postpone the consideration of a matter before a deliberative assembly. In British English, it means to schedule for consideration.
