Orders varying or supplementing earlier orders

28.28Allocation of time orders have been varied by subsequent orders, for example by changing the date when a bill is to be reported from a committee1 or changing the allocation of time for report and third reading.2

In a number of instances, an allocation of time order has been supplemented by a later order, so that the consideration of Lords amendments to the bill should be concluded at a stated time.3 Supplemental orders normally make specific provision for deciding forthwith questions relating to the appointment of committees to draw up reasons for disagreeing to Lords amendments.4 Allocation of time orders have been made in respect of consideration of Lords amendments to bills, earlier proceedings on which had not been the subject of such an order.5
