– in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 4 June 1945.
The Board of Trade shall not erect any building or carry out any work in pursuance of Section one or five of this Act so as to contravene the provisions of any scheme in force under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1932, the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act, 1932, or any enactment repealed by either of those Acts or by any enactment thereby repealed.—[Mr. Lyttelton.]
Mr Oliver Lyttelton
, Aldershot
I beg to move, "That the Clause be read a Second time."
This new Clause is introduced to carry out the undertaking given by my predecessor in Standing Committee during the Debate on an Amendment in the name of the hon. Member for Stone (Sir J. Lamb).
Mr Oliver Lyttelton
, Aldershot
I beg to move, in page 6, line 3, leave out "or extension of an industrial building."
This and the next two Amendments are consequential on the deletion of the original Clause 9.
In a normal session there are up to ten standing committees on bills. Each has a chair and from 16 to 50 members. Standing committee members on bills are appointed afresh for each new bill by the Committee of Selection which is required to take account of the composition of the House of Commons (ie. party proportions) as well as the qualification of members to be nominated. The committees are chaired by a member of the Chairmen's Panel (whose members are appointed by the Speaker). In standing committees the Chairman has much the same function as the Speaker in the House of Commons. Like the Speaker, a chairman votes only in the event of a tie, and then usually in accordance with precedent. The committees consider each bill clause by clause and may make amendments. There are no standing committees in the House of Lords.
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.
