Introduction
Metadata relating to the amendment is displayed in the right-hand panel called “Amendment Information”. This includes information such as the amendment status and amendment location information Amendment Information. In most cases, the amendment information is automatically updated generated by parsing the amendment instruction and gleaning /ping pong motion heading to work out the clause/page/line etc. information required for sorting. This information is used by Lawmaker when sorting amendments or motions in lists. In some cases, namely amendments to amendments in the House of Lords and House of Commons, the instruction doesn't contain enough context for sorting so the Amendment Information can be manually updated to allow automatic more fine-tuned sorting to take place.
