Victims and Prisoners Bill - Commons Amendments and Reasons – in the House of Lords at 3:30 pm on 24 May 2024.
Lord Bellamy:
Moved by Lord Bellamy
That this House do not insist on its Amendment 47 to which the Commons have disagreed for their Reason 47A.
47A: Because it would be inappropriate to impose a blanket restriction on the use of personal data in the circumstances to which the amendment relates.
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.
