Introduction
Generating an official list will automatically populate the appropriate document template with relevant ping pong motions, sorted and grouped under appropriate interstitial headings.
How to generate a Lords Daily Sheet at Ping Pong
Create a list by:
From the Amendment Manager tab: select Amendment Actions > Create Official List from the dropdown menu in the top right of the page
From the Official List tab: click on the Create List button
Select Lords Daily Sheet
Update the relevant information in the dialog box and click on Create
A new tab opens with the appropriate document template, containing relevant amendments sorted and grouped under applicable interstitial headings
Process and logic for auto-generating the Lords Daily Sheet at Ping Pong stage
Deciding on the document template to use:
If there are no published Marshalled Lists for this bill version, then a Daily Sheet document template is used.
If there are published Marshalled Lists for this bill version, then a Supplementary Sheet document template is used.
Filtering which ping pong motions to include in the list:
Ping pong motions will appear in the Daily Sheet or unnumbered Supplementary Sheet if:
they were recorded as having been “tabled” up to the specified cut-off date/time of the amendment list,
they haven’t already got an outcome recorded against them e.g. Agreed to etc.., and
they haven't already been published on a previous list.
Sorting the ping pong motions
They will be sorted by the amendment number they are associated to (taken from the motion’s context heading)
Populating the list
As part of populating the list – the following insert logic is applied:
Take the first sorted ping pong motion and insert an interstitial heading containing that motion’s context (e.g. “COMMONS AMENDMENT 2”)
Insert the first sorted ping pong motion followed by any other ping pong motions with the same motion context (hiding their motion contexts so there’s only one interstitial heading before them all)
Repeat these steps for remaining sorted ping pong motions with different motion contexts
The ping pong motions and associated ping pong amendments are not numbered.
