The Deputy Leader of the House of Commons (Tom Brake)
I beg to move,
That the Order of 3 September 2013 (Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill: Programme) be varied as follows:
Proceedings on Consideration
For paragraph (6) substitute–
“(6) Proceedings on Consideration–
(a) shall be taken on the days shown in the first column of the following Table and in the order so shown, and
(b) shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion at the times specified in the second column of the Table.
Proceedings | Time for conclusion of proceedings |
|---|---|
First day | |
New Clauses and new Schedules relating to Part 1; amendments to Clauses 1 and 2, Schedule 1, Clause 3, Schedule 2 and Clauses 4 to 25. | 10pm on the first day |
Second day | |
New Clauses and new Schedules relating to Part 2; amendments to Clause 26, Schedule 3, Clauses 27 to 32, Schedule 4 and Clauses 33 to 35; new Clauses and new Schedules relating to Part 3; amendments to Part 3; new Clauses and new Schedules relating to Part 4; amendments to Part 4; remaining new Clauses; remaining new Schedules; remaining proceedings on Consideration”. | One hour before the moment of interruption on the second day. |
The programme motion amends the programme motion of 3 September, with the effect that day one of the debate will focus on part 1 of the Bill, and day two will cover parts 2 to 4. This remains consistent with our intention that two days should be provided for the Report stage of the Bill. This was announced at business questions on 18 July and was not objected to by the Opposition at that time.
As we have seen, the Bill has been widely debated by hon. Members across the House. I recognise the breadth of views that have been shared on various measures within the Bill, and I believe it is important that this House is able to debate all parts of it. I therefore propose that the debate on part 1 concludes at the end of day one, so parts 2 to 4 can be debated on day two.
This programme motion also proposes that we debate each part of the Bill in turn, so that the discussion takes the following order: we first debate new clauses and new schedules for that part; then amendments to clauses and schedules for that part, with each schedule brought up so that it directly follows the clause to which it relates. This programme motion will enable a smooth and effective debate of all parts of the Bill. I therefore move this motion.
