I wish to explore the position of the manufacture and storage of explosives regulations. Am I right in saying that they apply to a certain
quantity, and if that quantity were less than a tonne of fireworks, the regulations would not be applicable?
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.
