Resolution reported,
That, for the purposes of any Act of the present Session to amend the Post Office Act, 1908, and other enactments relating to the Post Office, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of moneys provided by Parliament of gratuities to owners of vessels or owners or persons in charge of aircraft in respect of postal packets conveyed by them on behalf of the Post Office, and to pilots, crew and others in respect of postal packets brought by them to any Post Office from any vessels or aircraft.
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.
