– in the House of Lords at 7:37 pm on 27 February 2023.
Baroness Finlay of Llandaff
Deputy Chairman of Committees, Deputy Speaker (Lords)
My Lords, I understand that no amendments have been set down to the Bill and that no noble Lord has indicated a wish to move a manuscript Amendment or to speak in Committee. With the agreement of the Committee, I will now report the Bill to the House without amendment.
House resumed. Bill reported without amendment. Report and Third Reading agreed without debate. Bill passed.
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.
