| 1994 Precedent | 1. Member moved amendments No.s 3 and 4 in globo. The Temporary Chairman put the questions separately, because amendment No. 4 seemed to follow on from amendment No. 2 that had been lost.

| 1993 Precedent | 1. In Committee of the Whole, member moved that Division 4 of a bill be omitted. The Chairman noted that this division included a number of clauses within it that were the subject of proposed amendments by other members. The dilemma was that if the question was now put, it would preclude debate on these further amendments. Therefore, he proposed to deal with each of the clauses individually so that the various amendments could be debated. The amendment to omit Division 4 was deferred. Later, consideration of other amendments was also deferred by agreement. PD 18/5/93, 2189, 2217, 2224 |
| 1992 Precedent | 1. Two amendments were proposed to clause 8 of the Swimming Pools Bill - one to delete the clause, the other to amend it. Clerks advised the Chair that there was a conflict between the two amendments. Temporary Chairman indicated that he proposed to have a test vote using the device known as "testing the Committee" whereby the Chairman would propose only those words of the first amendment down to the point where the second amendment would begin. If the Committee decides to leave out the words, the first amendment is held to have been agreed to without further question. If the Committee decides that the words stand, the first amendment is negatived and the Chairman will propose the question for the second amendment. PD 7/5/92, 3920-1 |
| 1992 Precedent | 1. Member sought guidance from the Temporary Chairman on whether, as an amendment moved by another member conflicted with his amendment yet to be moved, he should address his amendment at the same time as addressing that of the other member. The Temporary Chairman ruled that, as the Minister had already moved his amendment, it was in order for the member to refer to his amendment in addressing it. PD 27/11/92, 10347 |
