OLD - Generating a Consolidated List of Amendments (UK amendments only)

Introduction

The Consolidated List of Amendments will collate all amendments from the specified House from all amending stages into a single document - the Consolidated List.  Amendments will need manually updating to ensure they point to the correct bill version etc.

How to generate the first Consolidated List of Amendments

1. From either the ‘Amendment Manager’ tab or the 'Official Lists' tab, click on the Create List button
2. Select "Consolidated List of Amendments" (you may need to scroll down to see it)
3. Fill in the subsequent information according to the House whose amendments you are consolidating
4. Click Create button when you have finished adding your preferences
5. The system will generate a Consolidated List document, containing all agreed amendments from all amending stages in the selected House
6. Once you have finished updating the amendments and they are ready for sharing with the first House, you must renumber them 1 to n by selecting "Tools > Renumber Amendments" from the upper tool bar.

How to create subsequent Consolidated List of Amendments

1. From 'Lists' tab, find the last published version of the Consolidated List of Amendments
2. From the Actions dropdown, select 'Duplicate version', filling in the required information and clicking Create button when done
3. The system will create a duplicate version of the Consolidated List document and display it in the left-hand side working versions
4. Open the document in the Editor to make further edits to it (e.g. deleting resolved amendments, inserting Messages, Reasons, Headings and ping pong Amendments as required)

Hints and tips

• You will need to update the amendments in this list e.g. merging and deleting amendments, changing clause/page/line references etc.
• Once you have finished updating the amendments in the list, you will need to renumber the amendments (see "Renumbering Amendments" in the user manual)
• Amendments will be sorted according to the order the provisions appear in the bill.  
• Consolidated List of Amendments will always appear on the 'Official Lists' tab, regardless of the bill version filter applied to the tab.
• You can insert Messages, Reasons, Headings and Amendments into the list as ping pong progresses and delete amendments that have been dealt with etc.
• It is envisaged you will copy and paste agreed ping pong amendments directly into the list from your motion lists rather than retype them
• When you publish a Consolidated List of Amendments, the edit rights to the amendments within them will be passed to the organisation who published the list (allowing users in that organisation to prepare the next consolidated list of amendments to send back to the other House ready for them to publish)

House of Commons

• Ideally new Clause and new Schedule amendments (NCX and NSX amendments) should be updated before the Consolidated List is generated with the appropriate clause/schedule number e.g. "After Clause 2, insert the new Clause".  It doesn't matter if you don't however, they will still get included, but they won't be marshalled so you will have to drag them to the correct location, copying and pasting an interstitial heading before them if necessary.
• "Agreed" amendments includes "Agreed to" and "Agreed to on division"
