– in the House of Commons at on 7 February 1929.
"to amend the Licensing Act, 1872, and the Licensing Acts, 1910 and 1921; and for other purposes relating thereto," presented by Colonel Gretton; supported by Major Carver, Sir George Courthope, Mr. Gates, Mr. Wells and Mr. Everard; to be read a Second time upon Thursday next, and to be printed. [Bill 50.]
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.
