Purpose of the list
The Lords Marshalled List brings together all the amendments tabled to a bill so far (regardless of whether they have been published in Daily Sheets). It assigns numbers to all the amendments and uses black stars to indicate where an amendment has not been previously published. It states the Order of Consideration which is the sequence in which the amendments will be debated. It also includes withdrawn amendments which were previously published on earlier Marshalled Lists.
Whereas the Daily Sheet publicises the amendments which are to be moved, the Marshalled List has a procedural function in that it states the order in which the amendments will be debated.
Content
The Marshalled List includes a printed Order of Consideration on the first page, in two columns.
All amendments tabled to particular version of a bill up until the cut-off date/time are included, irrespective of whether they were published on a daily sheet previously.
Amendments which have an outcome assigned to them (for example, ‘Agreed’) are not included on the Marshalled list.
Ordering
Amendments are sorted by the (user-defined) Order of Consideration.
If no Order of Consideration is defined, the following default order is used:
Amendments to Clauses 1 to the end, of type "insert", "leaveOut", "substitute", "move", or "divide";
Amendments to Schedules 1 to the end, of type "insert", "leaveOut", "substitute", "move", or "divide";
Amendments to the Preamble;
Amendments to the Long title.
Format
Proposers and Supporters names appear before each amendment, in capital letters, centre-aligned.
The amendments are numbered; however, note that ‘stand part’ motions at Committee stage (i.e. motions that a clause should or should not be included in the bill) are not numbered.
There are interstitial headings for each Clause or Schedule that the amendments relate to.
There are black and white stars. Black stars appear next to amendments which have not been previously published in a Daily Sheet.
