May I help the hon. Gentleman? I am re-reading the amendments, and between them they cover the Clause. Debating the amendments will cover the clause, so any Member who wants to make a stand part point must do so in the context of the amendments.
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.
