I beg to move, That the Clause be read a Second time.
For the Committee’s information, the new clause is very technical in nature and ensures simply that part 1 is compliant with the terms of the e-commerce directive.
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.
