Commons Proceedings

Purpose of the list

Commons Proceedings lists record the outcomes of the amendments considered at each amending stage, including at Ping Pong.

Proceedings at Committee Stage

Proceedings at Report Stage

All amendments or ping pong motions from the current stage which have an outcome recorded against them.

A newly created list is not populated with amendments; the ‘Update List’ action adds the amendments to the list.

Motions and Resolutions are manually copied into the Proceedings List from the Marshalled List.

Clause/schedule outcomes are manually added after each group of relevant amendments to record the decision on each provision in the bill:

Witness lists are also manually added recording the oral evidence given during Committee Stage:

The same ordering logic which applies to Marshalled Lists applies to the Proceedings List.

The numbers assigned to the amendments when the Marshalled List is created will be retained on the Proceedings List.

Stars do not appear on Proceedings Lists.

Amendment outcomes appear right-aligned, before the amendment number.

Interstitial headings are manually added and appear between groups of decisions to indicate:

at Committee Stage, which sitting the decisions were taken during
at Report Stage, the grouping of amendments
at Ping Pong, the specific Lords Reason which occasioned the amendments grouped under the heading.
