Introduction
Once the other House has shared with you the Consolidated list of amendments, you need to top and tail the list and publish it.
How to Publish the Consolidated List of Amendments
Duplicate the shared Consolidated List
Open the list in the Editor
Open the ‘Document Information’ right-hand panel:
add a bill number,
check the House
add a printed date
Check that the front and back covers are displaying the correct information – update if required
Save and close the document
Generate a PDF
Find the PDF snapshot version and select Actions > Publish version
The next round of Ping Pong can officially start – the bill version visible in the drop-down menu that ping pong motions will be raised against will be “Ping Pong – [bill number]” e.g. “Pingpong - HL Bill 23”
It’s possible to draft ping pong motions before the Consolidated List has been published. Once the Consolidated List has been published, you can use the Actions > Move amendments to a different stage/bill version option against the LoDA (or individual motion from the Amendment Manager tab) and this will update the ping pong motions so that they now point to the newly published Consolidated List
