Sometimes, Members wish to withdrawn an amendment before debate. If this happens before a Marshalled List is produced, the amendment is updated and it will no longer appear on future lists. If it appears after it has appeared on a previous Marshalled List, it will appear in subsequent marshalled lists with the text “[Withdrawn]” instead of showing the full amendment content.
How to withdraw an amendment before debate
From the ‘Amendment Manager’ tab:
Find the amendment on the Amendment Manager you want to update
Select the amendment(s) using the check box on the left hand side.
Open the amendments in a temporary list by selecting Amendment Actions > Create temporary list from the drop-down menu in the top right of the Amendment Manager
Click on the Amendment Status right-hand panel
Select Withdrawn before debate button in the Amendment Status right-hand panel
Save your changes and close the temporary list
If this amendment has been published on a list already, you will need to ensure an update has been scheduled on the relevant bill
You can use the quick filters at the top of the page to help you find amendments on the Amendment Manager, or use the advanced search at the side of the amendment table.
