| Synopsis: |
Bills are usually presented to the House of Commons accompanied by a separate document containing Explanatory Notes. The Government would like to publish the bill and the Explanatory Notes in a single document, with the text of the Bill interleaved with that of the Notes so that the two texts appear in parallel on facing pages. It intends to test the usefulness of the new format by experimenting with a single bill in the current Session, probably the Equality Bill. The Government sought the Committee's views. The Committee has received conflicting views about the desirability of the change, and has some reservations about its value. In particular, it recognizes that Members may find the new document cumbersome and that those who prefer the traditional format may be disappointed that during the experiment they have no choice over the form in which the bill in question is presented. Printing costs also make it unlikely that a choice of formats would be made available in the future.The only way to establish the acceptability and usefulness to Members of the proposed new format would be to conduct an experiment with a real Bill and the Committee therefore recommends that the House endorse the proposal that the Government should experiment with a single bill in the current Session. |
