Law Commission Bill: committee stage
19 May 2009 (updated on 22 April 2010)
The Law Commission Bill continued its journey through the Lords on 18 May
- Lords Hansard: Law Commission Bill
- Bills before Parliament: Law Commission Bill
- About Parliament: Private Members' Bills
- Companion to the Standing Orders in the House of Lords: Committee dispensed with or discharged
- Briefing: Bills and how they become law (PDF)
As no changes were suggested to the Bill the committee stage was dispensed with in order to save time. This is formally known as "order of commitment discharged".
The next stage will be third reading, the final opportunity for Members of the House of Lords to amend this Bill before it goes to the House of Commons.
