Introduction
You can view a list of all individual amendments (and ping pong motions) that you have permission to see for a bill by clicking on the bill project from the dashboard.
How to view amendments
- Select the project you wish to open
- The system will open the project and present the ‘Project’ tab displaying all versions of the document that you have access to.
- Click on the ‘Amendment Manager’ tab to view a list of all individual amendments that you have access to
Hints and tips
- The banner at the top of the page will display the project title (which is derived from the document's title) so it's clear which project you are viewing
- To return to the dashboard, click on the home icon in the top left on the banner
- You can filter the list of LoDAs by bill version using the bill version drop-down menu in the top left of the screen.
- It will default to the most recently published bill version for ease of use
- The columns on the “Amendment Manager” tab are all sortable if you click on them
- You can sort amendments on the 'Amendment Manager' tab by the order of consideration if one has been set for the bill version by clicking on the "OoC" button on the 'Location' column. If there was no special order of consideration on the selected bill version, clicking on this button will sort the amendments in the order they appear in the published version of the bill
- If you have sorted your amendments on the 'Amendment Manager' tab, when you open a temporary list the amendments will be sorted in the same way
UK ping pong motions only
If you have ping pong motions in the table, the 'Location' will display the amendment they are referring to. In some cases this will just be one amendment, in other cases a ping pong motion can refer to more than one amendment and if that is the case, all the amendment numbers will be displayed in the Location column.
Commons amendments and ping pong motions only
It is possible to 'fold' the supporter block in Commons amendment lists if the supporter block is particular large and difficult to navigate the list as a result. By default, the toggle will be set to 'open' but if you click on the triangle toggle to the left of the supporter block, this will 'fold' the supporter block so that it is no longer visible.
