Bills in Progress
For each Bill, the date of the next (or most recent) event in the
Bill’s passage is given. Other relevant information, e.g. about
lodging amendments, is given in italics.
As soon as a Public Bill (i.e. an Executive, Committee or Member’s
Bill) has completed Stage 1, amendments for consideration at Stage
2 may be lodged; and as soon as Stage 2 is completed, amendments for
Stage 3 consideration may be lodged. The last lodging day for amendments
at Stage 2 is two sitting days before the meeting at which those amendments
will be considered (e.g. Friday for a meeting on Tuesday); at Stage
3 it is three days before. Amendments may be lodged until 4.30 pm
on any sitting day, except on the last lodging day for Stage 2, when
the deadline is 2 pm. Members are advised to lodge amendments
in good time before the beginning of a Stage and as early as possible
during the day.
Amendments to Private Bills are subject to equivalent deadlines,
except that Consideration Stage amendments may not be lodged until
the consideration of evidence at that Stage is completed, and only
by members of the Private Bill Committee.
