This amendment removes the power for commencement regulations to make transitional, transitory or saving provision. Power to make such provision will instead be available under the new clause inserted by amendment NC1.
Amendment 42, in clause 6, page 13, line 20, leave out
“Sections 4 and 5, this section and section 7”
and insert
“The remaining provisions of this Act”. —(Anna Soubry.)
This amendment ensures that the new clause inserted by amendment NC1 (power to make transitional provision in connection with the coming into force of the new service complaints system) comes into force on Royal Assent (along with those clauses for which the Bill already provides for commencement on Royal Assent).
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.

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.
