Part of Orders of the Day — Ministry of Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill – in the House of Commons at on 8 December 1920.
Mr John Lorden
, St Pancras North
I beg to move at the end of the Clause to insert the words "Provided that the contribution shall in no case exceed a farthing rate in total."
There should be some limit in regard to these contributions which may be made by the local authority.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
