Orders of the Day — SANDWICH PORT AND HAVEN (re-committed) BILL. – in the House of Commons at on 17 July 1925.
Mr. GUINNESS:
I beg to move, in page 3, line 12, to leave out the words "any right," and to insert instead then of the words
and his successors in title a right exercise-able so long as such interest is retained by that person or his successors in title, as the case may be.
This Amendment provides, that, in the event of Messrs. Pearson and Dorman Long exercising the right to nominate which this Bill gives to the purchaser from the War Office, that right shall only vest in any sub-purchasers while they continue to retain their interest.
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.
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.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
