Maria Eagle
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
I need not detain the Committee long on the Clause, and shall deal it with it formally. The clause's purpose is to introduce schedule 1, which we shall reach in due course.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 11 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
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.
