This is not an attempt to part-privatise and substitute private work within the Coal Authority to receive finance so that in the near future the Government can reduce the money that they pay the Coal Authority to act on their behalf, is it?
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.
