-
a motion or reasoned amendment to a second or third reading motion that, when passed, will defeat the bill.
— The Hon R. Pharazyn moved as an amendment that the word “now” be omitted, and the words “this day six months” inserted. A division was called, and resulted in ayes, 12 ; noes. 16. So the amendment of the Hon R. Pharazyn was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be committed that day six months.
词源
British parliamentary session historically lasted for around 6 months, with any bill that did not pass within the session would be lapsed. Delaying the second reading or third reading by 6 months would therefore very likely terminate the bill.
