Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
This is a totally straightforward Clause, which I am sure the Committee will support.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 4 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Schedules 1 and 2 agreed to.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
