There are three questions to be put as a result of today’s business. The first question is, that Amendment S6M-16777.1, in the name of Sandesh Gulhane, which seeks to amend motion S6M-16777, in the name of Neil Gray, on adoption of innovation in health and social care, be agreed to.

Amendment agreed to.

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.
