Commons Marshalled List

All amendments or Ping Pong motions tabled to the bill so far, from the current bill stage

Amendments must have the status “Ready for publishing” in order to be included; amendments with outcomes recorded against them are not included

A newly created list is not populated with amendments; the ‘Update List’ action adds the amendments to the list

Also contains Motions, Orders, and Resolutions, which are manually added to the list

Withdrawn amendments are listed at the end; these are also manually added

  1. Amendments are first sorted by the clause or schedule to which they relate. If there is an Order of Consideration then this is applied to the sort. Otherwise amendments will be sorted in the order the clauses and schedules appear in the Bill.

  2. Amendments relating to the same clause/schedule are sorted by their page and line numbers (and column numbers, for amendments to tables).

  3. New Clause and new Schedule amendments are sorted by amendment number.

  4. Amendments to amendments are sorted after the amendment to which they relate.

  5. Finally, amendments that would otherwise be sorted to the same place are sorted by their user-specified sort code e.g. “M1” before “M2” etc.

Amendments (and ping pong motions) will not be numbered by Lawmaker when a Marshalled List is first generated or updated

Numbers are manually assigned to amendments as part of the process of readying the list for publication

You can assign simple consecutive numbers to amendments using the renumber function in the menu Tools > Renumber Amendments; this function is available in temporary lists ('ephemeral lists') created from the Amendment Manager tab

Government amendments are indicated with a Gov prefix before the number

Proposer and first five supporters' names appear left-aligned; any additional supporters' names appear in three columns

A black star will automatically appear before an amendment or ping pong motion that has never appeared on a previous rolling marshalled list

A white (hollow) star will automatically appear before an amendment or ping pong motion that has been published once already on a rolling marshalled list (converting the black star to a white star)

You can manually add or remove black and white stars by right-clicking on an amendment and selecting 'update star status'

White stars can also be added to amendments by choosing a ‘white star date’ in the ‘Update list’ modal; a white star will appear next to amendments tabled on or after that date

Short rules appear between amendments in the list

Interstitial headings can be manually added to indicate grouped amendments

Commons Proceedings

All amendments or ping pong motions from the current stage which have an outcome recorded against them

A newly created list is not populated with amendments; the ‘Update List’ action adds the amendments to the list

Motions and Resolutions are manually copied into the Proceedings List from the Marshalled List

Clause/schedule outcomes are manually added after each group of relevant amendments to record the decision on each provision in the bill

Witness lists are manually added to record oral statements given

The same ordering logic which applies to Marshalled Lists applies to the Proceedings List

The numbers assigned to the amendments when the Marshalled List is created will be retained on the Proceedings List

Stars do not appear on Proceedings Lists

Amendment outcomes appear right-aligned, before the amendment number.

Interstitial headings are manually added and appear between groups of decisions to indicate:

  • at Committee Stage, which sitting the decisions were taken during

  • at Report Stage, the grouping of amendments

  • at Ping Pong, the specific Lords Reason amendment which occasioned the amendments motions grouped under the heading.

Lords Daily Sheet

Contains all new amendments (or Ping Pong motions) tabled up until the cut-off date/time. Amendments which were published in an earlier Daily Sheet won’t appear in a newly generated Daily Sheet.

Amendments are sorted by the (user-defined) Order of Consideration.

If no Order of Consideration is defined, the following default order is used:

  1. Amendments to Clauses 1 to the end, of type "insert", "leaveOut", "substitute", "move", or "divide";

  2. Amendments to Schedules 1 to the end, of type "insert", "leaveOut", "substitute", "move", or "divide";

  3. Amendments to the Preamble;

  4. Amendments to the Long title.

Amendments are not numbered.

Proposers and Supporters names appear before each amendment, in capital letters, centre-aligned

There are no stars against amendments

There is no Order of Consideration printed on the first page

There are interstitial headings for the Clause and Schedule numbers

Lords Marshalled List

All amendments (or PP motions) tabled to a 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.

Amendments are sorted by the (user-defined) Order of Consideration.

If no Order of Consideration is defined, the following default order is used:

  1. Amendments to Clauses 1 to the end, of type "insert", "leaveOut", "substitute", "move", or "divide";

  2. Amendments to Schedules 1 to the end, of type "insert", "leaveOut", "substitute", "move", or "divide";

  3. Amendments to the Preamble;

  4. Amendments to the Long title.

The amendments are numbered; however, note that ‘stand part’ motions at Committee stage (i.e. motions that a clause should or should not be included in the bill) are not numbered.

When generating a Lords Marshalled List in Lawmaker, each of the previously un-published amendments is assigned a number according to an algorithm which adds letter suffixes to amendments depending on their position relative to existing amendments. If there are some previously published amendments they will retain the number they have been assigned.

Proposers and Supporters names appear before each amendment, in capital letters, centre-aligned

There are black stars against some amendments. Black stars appear next to amendments which have not been previously published in a Daily Sheet

There is an Order of Consideration printed on the first page

There are interstitial headings for the Clause and Schedule numbers

Lords Running List

Amendments are included on a Running List if they meet the following criteria:

  1. Their status was “tabled” (i.e. not “submitted” or “rejected”) before the cut-off date/time 

  2. They do not have an outcome already recorded, and 

  3. They haven’t already been published on a previous Marshalled list.

Amendments are sorted by the (user-defined) Order of Consideration.

If no Order of Consideration is defined, the following default order is used:

  1. Amendments to Clauses 1 to the end, of type "insert", "leaveOut", "substitute", "move", or "divide";

  2. Amendments to Schedules 1 to the end, of type "insert", "leaveOut", "substitute", "move", or "divide";

  3. Amendments to the Preamble;

  4. Amendments to the Long title.

Amendments are not numbered.

Proposers and Supporters names appear before each amendment, in capital letters, centre-aligned

There is an Order of Consideration printed on the first page

There are interstitial headings for the Clause and Schedule numbers

Lords Manuscript List

Manuscript Lists are created by manually selecting amendments in Lawmaker (on the Amendment Manager tab) and generating a Manuscript List from them. Therefore the contents of the list are determined by users, rather than by any amendment filtering logic.

These lists normally only contain one or two amendments; the ordering is determined manually

The numbering logic is the same as for the Lords Marshalled List.

Proposers and Supporters names appear before each amendment, in capital letters, centre-aligned

There is no Order of Consideration printed on the first page

Consolidated List of Amendments

The first Consolidated List of Amendments contains all agreed amendments from the second House from all amending stages

For the amendments to be automatically included on the CLoA generated in Lawmaker, they must be first copied to the Ping Pong stage

Subsequent Consolidated Lists of Amendments don’t include amendments which are no longer subject to further disagreement (they have a settled outcome)

Subsequent Consolidated Lists also include Reasons, disagreements, insistence, non-insistence, and amendments in lieu

The content of messages sent between houses detailing disagreements and counter-proposals are included on subsequent Consolidated Lists of Amendments; for those messages to be included on the list they must have been tabled as Ping Pong motions and agreed to by the relevant house

Amendments will be sorted according to the order the amended provisions appear in the bill

Some manual reordering is usually necessary to merge amendments and place them in the correct order

After the amendments have been manually reordered, new numbers can be assigned using the Tools > Renumber amendments function

Proposers and supporters' names do not appear on the Consolidated List of Amendments

There are interstitial headings for the Clause and Schedule numbers

There is no Order of Consideration
