MR. Wallhead, M.P., and Lieut.-Colonel J. Ward, M.P. – in the House of Commons at on 14 February 1924.
"to amend the Merchandise Marks Acts, 1887 to 1911, in their application to certain goods dealt with in the fancy jewellery and allied trades," presented by Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN; supported by Commander Locker-Lampson, Mr. Hannon, and Mr. Jephcott; to be read a Second time upon Monday next, and to be printed. [Bill 41.]
As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
