My Lords, I beg to move the Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper.
Moved, That it be an instruction to the Committee to which the Anti-social Behaviour Bill has been committed that they consider the Bill in the following order:
Clauses 1 to 14, Schedule 1, Clause 15 to 40, Schedule 2, Clauses 41 to 66, Schedule 3, Clauses 67 to 71.—(Baroness Scotland of Asthal.)
The order paper is issued daily and lists the business which will be dealt with during that day's sitting of the House of Commons.
It provides MPs with details of what will be happening in the House throughout the day.
It also gives details of when and where the standing committees and select committees of the Commons will be meeting.
Written questions tabled to ministers by MPs on the previous day are listed at the back of the order paper.
The order paper forms one section of the daily vote bundle and is issued by the Vote Office
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.
