Purpose of the list

The Lords Marshalled List brings together all the amendments tabled to a bill so far (regardless of whether they have been published in Daily Sheets). It assigns numbers to those amendments and uses black stars to indicate where an amendment has not been previously published. It states the Order of Consideration which is the sequence in which the amendments are debated. It also includes withdrawn amendments which were previously published on earlier Marshalled Lists.

Whereas the Daily Sheet and Running Lists publicise the amendments which will be moved by peers, the Marshalled List has a procedural function in that it states the order in which the amendments will be debated.

Content

The Marshalled List includes a printed Order of Consideration on the first page, in two columns.

All amendments tabled to particular version of a bill up until the cut-off date/time are included, irrespective of whether they were published on a daily sheet previously.

Amendments which have an outcome assigned to them (for example, ‘Agreed’) are not included on the Marshalled list.

Ordering

Format

The amendments are numbered; but note that ‘stand part’ motions at Committee stage (i.e. motions to the effect that a clause should or should not form part of the bill) are not numbered.

There are interstitial headings for each Clause or Schedule that the amendments relate to.

There are black and white stars.
