Group 4 is on care homes: rights to visits. Amendment 30, in the name of Jackie Baillie, is grouped with amendments 31, 32, 55, 33 to 36, 56, 57, 37, 38, 58 to 61, 61A and 62.
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.
