Glossary items matching Amendment

“Amendment”

As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation. Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament. In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill. The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.

“Amendment of the law”

The amendment of the law motion relates to the chancellor's Budget statement. It is a general resolution laid before the House of Commons by the chancellor of the exchequer. It enables the financial changes proposed in the Budget statement to be passed into law. The amendment of the law is moved formally at the start of the Budget debate and, together with the Ways and Means resolutions, is voted on at the end of this debate.
