[OPC and Lords] How to create a Lords ping pong amendment to amendment

When creating amendments to amendments for a Lords-starting bill, you need to create a single amendment to amendment for each of the Member’s requested amendments, rather than grouping them all under a single ‘amendment to amendment' element in Lawmaker. This will ensure the Marshalled List is formatted correctly when the list is generated.

How to create a Lords ping pong amendment to amendment

1. From the Amendment Workspace create a new List of Draft Amendments

2. Ensure you have selected “Ping pong” as the stage

3. Insert a PP Motion - amendment to amendment

4. Provide the Member’s name

5. Insert the amendment instruction and any associated quoted structure if required

6. For any subsequent amendments to amendments in the same Member’s name, insert a new PP Motion - amendment to amendment for each rather than inserting from the ‘Amendment - xxx’ options in the insert menu.
