6.2 Drafting of amendments to Bills

It is highly desirable that amendments to Bills be drafted in consultation with Parliamentary Counsel. Parliamentary Counsel will ensure consistency of drafting styles and advise of other possible consequences of the amendment to the Bill.

Amendments made by Parliamentary Counsel on instructions will be forwarded to the Table Office and will remain under embargo until release is authorised by the Member.
