third reading
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:38 2006
After a new Bill has been discussed by committee in
the CommitteeStage and by the whole House in the
ReportStage, it has its third and final reading.
Although this is technically a debate, it is often very short
and may be a formality, although if the Bill is politically controversial
the Opposition may which to vote against it. The
third reading may be held immediately after the report.
Unless the Bill is voted out, which is unusual at this stage,
it will usually be passed over to the other House for
further consideration.
