I hope that this Clause stand part debate will be short, but I have no control over such matters. I am sure that the Under-Secretary will cite the figures—I do not have them to hand, but I remember seeing them—that tell us that there are a relatively small number of individual voluntary arrangements compared with the overall picture of insolvency.

Clause

A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.

Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.

During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.

When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
