After which of the following stages will a bill be said to have reached the report stage in Parliament?
Answer Details
After the Committee stage, a bill will be said to have reached the report stage in Parliament.
During the Committee stage, a bill is scrutinized in detail by a small group of MPs or Lords who make recommendations for changes and amendments to the bill. Once the Committee stage is complete, the changes are reported back to the whole House of Parliament.
The report stage is the next stage in the legislative process. It is an opportunity for all MPs or Lords to examine the bill and debate any further amendments that have been proposed. The report stage is an important stage because it is the last chance for any significant changes to be made to the bill.
After the report stage, the bill moves on to the Third reading, where it is debated and voted on for the final time in both Houses of Parliament before being sent to the monarch for royal assent.
