Repeat amendments

29.58Amendments identical (or of identical effect) to amendments pressed to a decision by the mover and defeated in committee (including in Grand Committee) may not be re-tabled on report.1 However, an issue which has been debated and voted on in committee can be re-opened, provided that the relevant amendment is more than cosmetically different from that moved in committee. An amendment agreed to on a vote in committee may not be reversed on report except with the unanimous agreement of the House. A clause or schedule stood part (or left out) on a division in committee may not be removed (or reinstated) on report except with the unanimous agreement of the House. Decisions of committees where only certain Members of the House can vote (such as select committees or special public bill committees) are not subject to these restrictions.
