On Question, amendment agreed to.
Lord Bassam of Brighton
Government Whip, Government Whip
moved Amendment No. 247E:
Page 373, line 19, at end insert—
"2A (1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), the repeal by this Act of section 81 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (c. 37) does not affect the operation of subsection (4) of that section in relation to any notification received by the Panel under subsection (2) of that section, or proposal made by the Panel under subsection (3) of that section, before the commencement of the repeal.
(2) In its application by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) after the commencement of that repeal, section 81(4) of that Act is to have effect as if any reference to "the Court" were a reference to the Sentencing Guidelines Council.
(3) In this paragraph "the Panel" means the Sentencing Advisory Panel."
Lord Bassam of Brighton
Government Whip, Government Whip
I should also like to speak to Amendment No. 247F. These are consequential amendments. They ensure that the Sentencing Advisory Panel gives advice to the Sentencing Guidelines Council when the latter is established. Amendment No. 247F ensures that the correct Mental Health (Scotland) Act applies to transferred community orders and suspended sentence orders. I beg to move.
Lord Bassam of Brighton
Government Whip, Government Whip
moved Amendment No. 247F:
Page 374, line 34, at end insert—
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.
