of the bill are no longer at issue, having been agreed to by both Houses, and cannot be amended except by a “consequential amendment”, that is, an amendment immediately consequent upon the acceptance or rejection of a Commons amendment. So further amendments proposed at this stage are only admissible if they are relevant to a Commons amendment. 8.161 In dealing with a Commons amendment the following options are open to the Lords: to agree to the Commons amendment, either (a) without amendment, or (b) with a consequential amendment or an amendment in lieu of the words left out of the bill by the Commons, or (c) an amendment to the words restored to the bill by the Commons; to amend the Commons amendment; to disagree to the Commons amendment but to propose an alternative to it (an amendment “in lieu”); to disagree to the Commons amendment. 8.162 Amendments to Commons amendments are handed in to the Public Bill Office and printed in the usual way. An amendment to a Commons amendment takes the same form as any other amendment to an amendment (see paragraph 8.67). But a proposal to disagree to a Commons amendment or to put forward an amendment in lieu takes the form of an amendment to the motion that the House do agree with the Commons in their amendment. 1 8.163 A marshalled list of amendments and motions to be moved on consideration of Commons amendments is published on the day on which the amendments are to be taken. In some cases, where it is of assistance to the House, the text of the Commons amendments, or of the relevant ones, is printed on the marshalled list. Manuscript amendments to Commons amendments are not out of order but the disadvantages and inconveniences of such amendments are as great as on report. 2 1 Procedure 2nd Rpt 1999–2000. 2 Procedure 1st Rpt 1989–90. 156
Procedure on consideration of Commons amendments 8.164 Each Commons amendment is called from the Woolsack in the order in which it relates to the bill, unless the House orders differently. The Lord in charge of the bill moves that the House do agree with the Commons in their amendment, and the debate and decision follow as usual (see paragraph 8.65). An amendment to a Commons amendment is moved as soon as the Question on the Commons amendment has been put for the first time (see paragraph 8.67). A motion to disagree to a Commons amendment or to propose an amendment in lieu is moved as an amendment to the motion to agree with the Commons amendment. If the motion to disagree is agreed to, there are no further proceedings on the original motion. If the motion to disagree is withdrawn or disagreed to, the Question is put on the original motion that the House do agree with the Commons in their amendment. 8.165 If the Lord in charge of the bill wishes to move that the House disagree with a Commons amendment, the procedure above does not apply and the motion to disagree is moved as a motion in its own right and not as an amendment to a motion to agree. 8.166 If the Lord in charge of the bill wishes to move that the House do agree or disagree to some or all of the Commons amendments en bloc, and there is no other motion or amendment tabled to those amendments, he explains his intentions and asks leave of the House to do so when the first of the bloc is called. If there is no objection the Question is put accordingly. If there is objection the Question must be put separately on each amendment to the extent desired. 8.167 The Public Bill Office provides a brief for all movers of amendments and motions at these stages. Commons amendments agreed to 8.168 If all the Commons amendments are agreed to without amendment, the bill awaits the Royal Assent. Commons amendments agreed to with amendments 8.169 When the Lords agree to a Commons amendment with an amendment, the bill is returned to the Commons with a message to that effect. In dealing with the bill the Commons can agree to the Lords amendments, or agree to them with amendments, or disagree to them with or without proposing an alternative. 157

Procedure on consideration of Commons amendments<br />
8.164 Each Commons amendment is called from the Woolsack in the<br />
order in which it relates to the bill, unless the House orders differently.<br />
The Lord in charge of the bill moves that the House do agree with the<br />
Commons in their amendment, and the debate and decision follow as<br />
usual (see paragraph 8.65). An amendment to a Commons amendment is<br />
moved as soon as the Question on the Commons amendment has been<br />
put for the first time (see paragraph 8.67). A motion to disagree to a<br />
Commons amendment or to propose an amendment in lieu is moved as<br />
an amendment to the motion to agree with the Commons amendment.<br />
If the motion to disagree is agreed to, there are no further proceedings<br />
on the original motion. If the motion to disagree is withdrawn or<br />
disagreed to, the Question is put on the original motion that the House<br />
do agree with the Commons in their amendment.<br />
8.165 If the Lord in charge of the bill wishes to move that the House<br />
disagree with a Commons amendment, the procedure above does not<br />
apply and the motion to disagree is moved as a motion in its own right<br />
and not as an amendment to a motion to agree.<br />
8.166 If the Lord in charge of the bill wishes to move that the House do<br />
agree or disagree to some or all of the Commons amendments en bloc,<br />
and there is no other motion or amendment tabled to those<br />
amendments, he explains his intentions and asks leave of the House to<br />
do so when the first of the bloc is called. If there is no objection the<br />
Question is put accordingly. If there is objection the Question must be<br />
put separately on each amendment to the extent desired.<br />

amendments and motions at these stages.<br />
Commons amendments agreed to<br />
8.168 If all the Commons amendments are agreed to without<br />
amendment, the bill awaits the Royal Assent.<br />
Commons amendments agreed to with amendments<br />
8.169 When the Lords agree to a Commons amendment with an<br />
amendment, the bill is returned to the Commons with a message to that<br />
effect. In dealing with the bill the Commons can agree to the Lords<br />
amendments, or agree to them with amendments, or disagree to them<br />
with or without proposing an alternative.<br />
