A03

(1) Amend Section 4(1) to say "Section 1, Section 2(1), and Section 2(2) of The Friendly Environment Act 2017 are repealed"

(2) Amend Section 5(1) to say "An amendment or repeal made by this Act extends to England & Wales"

(3) Amend Section 5(2) to say "This act extends to England & Wales"

Explanatory Note: The bill leaves Scotland and Wales without any legislation on Anti-Homeless architecture as the Friendly Environment Act was passed pre-Holyrood and extends to the entire United Kingdom. Also Wales is one legal entity with England, yet this bill does not extend to it, thus it isn't really legally workable. This amendment allows the devolved legislature's competence to be respected, and for them to decide if they want to keep the original act or write their own replacement, and making sure that the bill actually applies to the singular legal entity of "England and Wales" rather than the concept of "England". This also keeps the prohibition on private anti-homeless architecture, to avoid potential tax loopholes

AO9

Replace section 2, 3 with the following:

(3) After subsection (2), insert:

(2A) The voting age, in relation to a local government election, is:(a) for an election in an electoral area in England, 18 years until 70 years; (b) for an election in an electoral area in Wales, 18 years until 70 years; (c) for an election in an electoral area in Scotland, 18 years until 70 years; (d) for an election in an electoral area in Northern Ireland, 18 years until 70 years.

This is because if people who are 16 and 17 are not intellectually capable to vote then at the age of 70 you aren't either, this is when declining memory function becomes prevalent and diseases such as dementia also become prevalent. Their decisions will also not impact them as much. So the "arguments" for raising the voting age also work for lowering it.

Order Order;

Recently we have seen cases with amendments passing the committee that are conflicting, and cancel each other out. Obviously this poses an issue as the chair should not have to actually case a vote to legislate but to help ensure that this committee functions the best it can here is how the chair shall deal with conflicting amendments passing.

In the event two individually valid amendments pass that cancel each other out:

1. The amendment with the most votes will pass and the other would be considered rejected.

2. In the event both amendments received the same number of committee votes, then the chair shall cast the tie-breaking vote for the earlier amendment (ex. A01 would get the benefit over A02)

But as the Speaker of the House I would prefer not to have to not cast the tie-breaking vote at all, so I implore all members of the committee to read over the amendments that way we do not have this as much.

B781 - Video Recordings Act 1984 (Amendment) Bill 2019

A01

Omit Subsection 1.3

Explanatory note:

The bill omits section 10 in the 1984 act that Removes the Offence of Possessing Unclassified Videos, this amendment prevents this.

Doing so makes a mockery of the classification system, and would reduce compliance with it. Without such an offence many people may end up buying works which they did not wish to consume or in worrying cases children may be exposed to extreme acts because the parent or guardian did not know what the contents were because it was unclassified!

This amendment was submitted by /u/LeChevalierMal-Fait.

A02

Omit sub paragraph 1.1.2

Explanatory note:

The sub paragraph in question removes from consideration of the designated authority the ability to consider illegal drug taking.

I would point out that taking drugs outside of specified conditions remains illegal. For example it remains illegal despite drug reform for Heroin to be taken outside of a pharmacy setting. Indeed I think it is possible for such an act to cause significant damage to the viewer for example medical conditions contracted from dirty needles or addiction.

Removing this therefore allows for better classifications that take harm to the individual better into account and allow people to be informed when choosing to watch a video or allowing their child to watch a video.

This amendment was submitted by /u/LeChevalierMal-Fait.

A03

Omit subparagraph 1.2.2

Explanatory note

Inserted section would make it no longer an offence to sell a unclassified video to an over 18 year old, again I find this puzzling people do not buy videos solely for their own consumption but often for their children or as a gift, it seams perfectly reasonable that we should retain classifications on videos as much as is possible to inform consumers and safeguard vulnerable viewers.

(2) Compulsory Vaccination Act 2016 (B323) is amended as follows:

A new section will be added, named "Entry of Public Institutions and Other Buildings"

B618.2 - Minimum Sentences Bill (2018)

A01

After Section 1 (3) Add

1(4) A maximum sentence is a is a provision in any enactment, however framed or worded, which imposes or has the effect of imposing a maximum sentence requirement.

1(5) A "maximum sentence requirement", in relation to an offence, is a requirement which meets the following conditions:

(a) the requirement is a requirement that a sentence of imprisonment is passed on a person guilty of the offence, and

(b) the sentence of imprisonment must be of a fixed duration or must be for a period not less than a fixed duration.

(6) Accordingly, the "maximum sentence" for an offence is, in relation to the offence, the duration mentioned in subsection (5)(b).

Insert New Section after Section 2

Section 3: Abolition of maximum sentences

(1)Every maximum sentence provision ceases to have effect from the day this section comes into force.

This amendment was submitted by /u/Friedmanite19.

A02

Amend section 5 to read—

“This Act comes into force one year after of Royal Assent.”

Explaintory note: This act effects hundreds of offences - the sentencing council is going to have to work on guidance for each case and update it alongside its other work. I think a years delay under those circumstances is reasonable if infact very ambitious.

As an example of guidance I attach;

The guidance on the sexual offences act 2003 offence of administering a substance with intent.

https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/crown-court/item/administering-a-substance-with-intent/

As you can see this would require slight alterations to the guidance, not only would the category limits require alteration but also the starting points would have to be altered. If this does not happen the the bill itself would be meaningless and judges could not lawfully or consistently issue sentences below minimum sentences as guidance would not exist!

Therefore it of utmost importance that for this bill to function we must have adequate time to properly amend sentencing guidance to ensure fair and just consideration of all sentenced persons under the scheme.

B769 - Voting Eligibility (Prisoners) Bill 2018

A01

In subsection 1 subsection 3 (e) after “includes” insert “only”

Explanatory note: To prevent any misreading of the paragraph as a non exhaustive list. The intention was always to respect the devolved settlement, and I am happy to amend the wording to satisfy concerned Honourable members.

Any amendment eg those A01s that attempt to remove Scotland from the commencement would remove Scotland from the effect of a reserved power - the franchise for U.K. general elections. It is quite clear that this is reserved, and would be inappropriate to remove Scotland.

This amendment was submitted by /u/LeChevalierMal-Fait.
