It depends on where one sets one’s geographical sights. If the hon. Gentleman is talking about the full length and breadth of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, I think we would probably win.
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.
