The function of both lists is to publicise newly submitted amendments and maintain a running list of all amendments submitted so far; the Daily list has the additional function of presenting all the amendments which have been selected for debate on a sitting day. The lists also include Motions, Orders, and Resolutions which are also voted on and determine to the procedure governing the progress of the bill through that parliamentary stage.

Withdrawn amendments are listed at the end; these are not reproduced in full but referred to by their number:

...

  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.

Numbering

Amendments (and ping pong motions) will not be automatically 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.

Simple consecutive numbers can be assigned to amendments using the renumber function in the Editor menu Tools > Renumber Amendments; this function is available in temporary lists ('ephemeral lists') created from the Amendment Manager tab.

New Clause amendment numbers have the form NC1NC2 etc.

OPC-drafted Government amendments are automatically assigned a Gov prefix before the number.

Format

Each amendment’s proposer and the first five supporters' names appear left-aligned, before the amendment instruction; any additional supporters' names appear in three columns.
