Definition
  • Normally follows immediately after the second reading of a bill; decided without debate (although almost always with a vote), followed if necessary by a motion to authorise government expenditure in relation to the bill (money resolution) or the raising of a tax of charge (ways and means resolution). These motions also give the committee on the bill authority to consider provisions that would require expenditure or impose a tax.
