ill without Question put either in an emergency (such as a member being taken ill) or for a lunch or dinner break). If consideration of the bill is not completed, the House is resumed on motion and can again go into committee on a future day. Procedure in Committee of the whole House 8.81 SO 30, which forbids a member to speak more than once to any motion, does not apply when the House is in committee. 1 A next business motion (see paragraph 4.53) is not permitted. Clause stand part 8.82 As soon as the amendments to each clause have been disposed of, the Lord in the Chair puts the Question that the clause (or the clause as amended) stand part of the bill. On this Question a general debate on the clause may take place. Any member who wishes to leave out the clause speaks to this Question. Warning of such opposition will normally have been given by means of an italic notice on the marshalled list, and if there is no italic notice any member who wishes to speak on “clause stand part” should inform the Lord in the Chair. Once a clause has been disposed of, the committee cannot return to it and consider it further. 8.83 Where there are several consecutive clauses to which no amendment has been set down, the Question is put on all of them en bloc. If members wish to speak to one of these clauses or move a manuscript amendment they may do so when the clauses are called; but in this case they should warn the Lord in the Chair of their intention, and that clause or those clauses are then dealt with separately. Postponement of clauses 8.84 Clauses or Parts may be postponed on a motion made to that effect of which notice has been given; they may also be postponed as the result of an instruction. A clause may be postponed without notice after consideration of it has begun but it may not be postponed if it has already been amended. 1 See also SO 62. 140
Schedules 8.85 The Schedules to the bill are considered in order after the clauses (unless there is an instruction to the committee to take them in a different order) and are dealt with in the same manner as clauses. Preamble and long title 8.86 As soon as the clauses and Schedules have been disposed of, the Lord in the Chair puts without any motion being moved the Questions on the preamble to the bill (if there is one) and on the long title. Amendments to the preamble and long title may be moved before each of these Questions is put. 8.87 Consequential or drafting amendments to the long title are frequently agreed to. Preambles may be omitted in committee and also amended, and it is in order to insert a preamble in a bill where none exists. House resumed during committee stage 8.88 If the committee stage is not completed at one sitting, it is necessary for a member (usually a government Whip) to move “That the House be resumed”. When this motion has been agreed to, the Lord in the Chair leaves the Chair and the Lord Speaker or a Deputy Speaker takes the Woolsack. The House goes into committee again either later on the same day (on occasions when the House has been resumed in order to take other business) or on a future day. 8.89 When it is agreed that there should be a break during a committee stage, and there is no other business to be taken, the House is not resumed and adjourned formally but the committee simply adjourns without question put until a time announced by a government Whip. 8.90 When the committee stage is resumed, the committee proceeds from the point in the bill where it left off. Conclusion of proceedings in committee 8.91 When the committee stage is completed the Lord in the Chair, without any motions being moved, puts the Questions that the bill be reported to the House with or without amendment, and that the House 141
