Part of Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill - Commons Reason – in the House of Lords at 4:02 pm on 21 March 2023.
Earl Howe:
Moved by Earl Howe
That this House do not insist on its Amendment 10, to which the Commons have disagreed for their Reason 10A.
10A: Because they consider civil proceedings to be an important means of obtaining a remedy for breach of duties imposed by the Bill.
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.
