That it be an instruction to the Committee of the Whole House to which the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has been committed that they consider the bill in the following order: Clauses 1 to 12, Clauses 29 to 41, Schedule 2, Clauses 42 to 47, Clauses 13 to 23, Schedule 1, Clauses 24 to 28, Clauses 48 to 52, Schedule 3, Clauses 93 to 106, Clauses 53 to 66, Schedule 4, Clauses 67 to 83, Schedule 5, Clauses 84 to 89, Schedule 6, Clauses 90 to 92, Clauses 107 to 111, Title.
Motion agreed.
The clause by clause consideration of a parliamentary bill takes place at its committee stage.
In the Commons this usually takes place in a standing committee, outside the Chamber, but occasionally a bill will be considered in a committee of the Whole House in the main chamber.
This means the bill is discussed in detail on the floor of the House by all MPs.
Any bill can be committed to a Committee of the Whole House but the procedure is normally reserved for finance bills and other important, controversial legislation.
The Chairman of Ways and Means presides over these Committees and the mace is placed on a bracket underneath the Table.
