Repeat amendments

29.57Amendments identical (or of identical effect) to amendments pressed to a vote by the mover and defeated in 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.
