– in the House of Lords at 1:27 pm on 14 March 2019.
Lord Henley
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy)
My Lords, I beg to move, but I have already spoken to these regulations. I intervene only to apologise to the noble Lord for forgetting that we were speaking to his Amendment and not to my Motion. I will not make such a procedural mistake again.
Tabled by Lord Stevenson of Balmacara
At the end insert “but that this House regrets that Her Majesty’s Government has still not published plans for future post-Brexit structural or regional support arrangements for the United Kingdom, or confirmed that financial support will be at least equivalent”.
Amendment to the Motion not moved.
Motion agreed.
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.
