Marshalled List

Purpose of the list

The Marshalled List sets out all the amendments to a bill at a given stage in the “order in which they will be disposed of” - that is, the order in which they will be voted on.

Content

Amendments will appear in the Marshalled List if they were tabled/lodged before the cut-off date and time (and do not have the status ‘Not Selected’ if the Bill is at Stage 3), and they haven’t already got an outcome recorded against them e.g. Withdrawn before debate, Agreed to etc.

Ordering

The order in which the amendments appear is the same as in the Daily List. Amendments will be sorted by the Order of Consideration if there is one. If there is no Order of Consideration, they will be sorted in the order they appear in the Bill.

Amendments are also sorted by-

• their Page, line and column number,

• their specified sort code e.g. M1, M2.

Amendments to amendments will appear after their target amendment in the sorted list.

Numbering

Same rules apply as for Daily Lists.

In most cases, amendments will already have been numbered on Daily Lists, but it is possible to include new amendments in the Marshalled Lists which will automatically be numbered according to the same rule as Daily Lists.

Format

The Order of Consideration appears at the start of the Marshalled List, in two columns. (Unlike Lords amendment lists, it runs left-to-right, rather then down the first column then down the second.)

As in Daily Lists, Lawmaker inserts centre-aligned interstitial headings (e.g. “Section 2” or “Before schedule 2A”) between the amendments as appropriate.

Proposers' names appear before each amendment, left-aligned.

Stars (asterisks after the amendment number) will also appear automatically if this is the first list that the amendment has appeared on:
