I have no speakers in this group. I assume that the Counsel General doesn't want to contribute again. So, the question is that Amendment 2 be agreed. Does any Member object? There is no objection. Amendment 2 is, therefore, agreed.

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.
