In the British House of Commons , publicbill committees known as standing committees before 2006 ref http www.publications.parliament.uk pa cm stand.htm House of Commons PublicBill Committees Bot generated title ref consider Bills proposed Acts of Parliament . The House of Lords does not have such committees, as Bills are usually considered by the House as a whole. When a Bill has received its Second Reading in the House of Commons, it reaches its committee stage. The Bill is then usually sent to a publicbillcommittee for consideration. However, some bills are considered not by a publicbillcommittee but by a Committee of the Whole House in this case, amendments are proposed and discussed by the entire House of Commons. This applies to some key clauses of Finance Bills, which are proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer every year in March April, and to some occasional bills such as the 1998 99 House of Lords Reform Bill. The job of publicbill committees is to debate and consider amendments to a Bill. The committee considers each Bill clause by clause, and may amend it the House then considers the bill as amended at the Bill s Report Stage . Under the post 2006 House of Commons procedure, publicbill committees may take a limited amount of evidence akin to a Select Committee Westminster System select committee on certain bills committed to them. The composition of the committee is roughly proportional to that of the House itself, so it is rare that amendments are accepted that are contrary to a majority Government s wishes. As the overall purpose of a Bill has been set by its Second Reading in the House, amendments at the committee stage may not make drastic changes.

unreferenced date July 2008 In the legislative process , a publicbill is a Bill proposed law bill which proposes a law of general application throughout the jurisdiction in which it is proposed, and which if enacted will hence become a public law or public act. The term publicbill differentiates such a bill from a private bill , which is a legislative bill affecting only a single person, group, or area, such as a bill granting a named person citizenship or, previously, granting named persons a legislative divorce . In practice, a technically public act can have the effect of a private act by the addition of restrictions such as limiting the act s effect to areas falling within a certain population bracket. Public bills in the United Kingdom Public Bills are the most common bills introduced in the Parliament of the United Kingdom . Bills can be proposed in either the House of Commons of the United Kingdom House of Commons or the House of Lords by any member of that House. However, although backbench members can introduce public bills, the vast majority of legislative time in the House of Commons is allocated to public bills introduced by the government.
