Mr Neville Chamberlain
, Birmingham, Ladywood
I beg to move, in page 26, line 22, after the word "Treasury," to insert the words
so far as relates to matters with respect to which the Treasury so direct.
This Amendment is intended to meet a number of matters on which Regulations are being made.
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.
