Introduction

Use the Manuscript Amendment List for any amendments that need to be numbered which aren’t on a ‘normal’ Marshalled List e.g. Manuscript Amendments or numbered supplementary sheets.

How to generate a Lords Manuscript List

  1. Pre-select the amendments you wish to include in the List using the checkboxes on the Amendment Manager tab

  2. Create a list by:

    1. From the Amendment Manager tab: select Amendment Actions > Create Official List from the dropdown menu in the top right of the page

    2. From the Official List tab: click on the Create List button

  3. Select Lords Manuscript List

  4. Update the relevant information in the dialog box and click on Create

  6. A new tab opens with the appropriate document template, containing pre-selected amendments sorted and grouped under applicable interstitial headings

Process and logic for auto-generating the Lords Manuscript List

Filtering which amendments to include in the list:

The amendments that were pre-selected on the Amendment Manager

Sorting the amendments

  • They will be sorted in the order they appear in the bill or by the Order of Consideration, if there is one (see Sorting logic used by amendment lists for more information on sort logic).

  • Amendments to amendments will be sorted by the page/line information or the amendment number they are linked to. This information is automatically captured by parsing the italic amendment note on amendments to amendments when saving.

Populating the list

  • As part of populating the list with amendments, interstitial headings are automatically inserted before each amendment group e.g. “Clause 2”; “After Schedule 2” etc.

  • If there was an order of consideration, it will be included in the header of the list and can be optionally deleted if not required

  • Amendments are numbered according to the Amendment Numbering Logic

  • Any amendment that has not previously been published on another list will be assigned a black star

Amendment Numbering Logic

  • The logic for numbering amendments on a Manuscript List is basic at the moment and is due to be improved in a future release.

  • Currently it will work out what the next number in the sequence is from previously published amendments. It is not able to workout where these selected amendments sit vis-a-vis already published amendments and therefor is unable to work out amendment numbering e.g. 1A
