Clause 319
Marine and Coastal Access Bill [Lords]
12:15 pm
The effect of this amendment would be to remove the “Privilege Amendment” which was inserted at Third Reading in the Lords to avoid infringement of the financial privileges of the Commons.
It is a privilege of the House to control charges on public funds. When a Bill is introduced in the other place, a privilege amendment is, by convention, moved before the Bill is brought to the lower House so as to avoid infringing that privilege. The amendment simply deletes the privilege amendment in the usual manner.
