When would it be helpful to apply amendments?
Instructions on how to apply amendments can be found here.
You may find it useful to apply amendments:
before Stage 2 or 3:
to check that your amendments are inserted into the correct place, or
to show the Bill team what the Bill looks like with SG or non-SG amendments applied,
after Stage 2 or 3:
to assist with writing the revised Explanatory notes,
to assist with checking the As Amended or As Passed PDFs of the Bill.
