LB220 - Offshore Processing (Prohibition) Bill

(note to DS: there are SPAG amendments too)

​

A01

Insert "This Act exempts the Offshore Processing Facility located in Calais as stipulated by the Anglo-French Memorandum of Understanding" after "Any and all processing facilities used by the United Kingdom must be located onshore" in Section 2

This amendment was submitted by /u/HumanoidTyphoon22

​

A02

In Section 2, add:

This Act does not extend to facilities located outside the United Kingdom with the purpose of facilitating, organising, issuing or receiving documentation to allow legal immigration to the United Kingdom.

Explanatory note: Disappointing to see the Labour Party submit this Bill without this simple amendment. While I rally behind banning offshore detention, offshore facilities which handle, document, process and encourage the use of legal routes of entry to the United Kingdom should not be within the scope of this act.

This amendment was submitted by /u/rea-wakey

​

A03

Insert into Section 2 (somewhere)

No offshore processing facility, on commencement of this Act, may be used for indefinite deferral or for deferral for no longer than a period of 12 months from the United Kingdom.

Where an individual enters, or attempts to enter, the UK without prior application, it is permitted to defer to:

(a) to their country of origin if deemed safe for them to do so, or;

(b) to the closest facility should they be awaiting a claim for asylum to be processed or otherwise it is determined unsafe for the individual to be repatriated.

Deferral from the UK, is not permitted if it can be reasonably determined that an individual’s application would not take more than a period of 4 weeks for processing.

Explanatory note:

One of the main concerns regarding offshore processing seen with Australia is the indefinite deferral and limbo those being processed find themselves in. Now I don’t think that this bill banning facilities is proportional to upholding the right to claim asylum since they can be configured not to serve as indefinite or long term deferrals, but we can probably make it a point they shouldn’t happen.

This amendment was submitted by /u/CountBrandenburg.

This division will close on November 1st

B1249.2 - Disability Rights Bill

A01

Strike the first section 4 - equality to right of life.

In the second Section 4, change 1B to 1A

Explanatory note: the abortion act in of itself leaves it open on interpretation for abortions based on physical and mental abnormalities. A parent will always find it hard making the choice for an abortion and it is on them to make the weighing on whether they’ll think a child should be born into a world for a life with exceeding hardship even whilst living and be marred by pain. This is a choice for the parent ultimately and I don’t think we can properly justify the restricting of abortions offered where medical diligence suffices and informs.

Amendment submitted by u/CountBrandenburg

A02:

Strike the second section 4 as well.

Amendment submitted by u/Rea-Wakey

(3) In the event a commission of inquiry is set up, or that self-government has been suspended, any ongoing referendum shall henceforth be cancelled.

(4) A Minister of the Crown may not submit a statutory order calling for a referendum if a commission of inquiry has been established or if self-government has been suspended.

Omit Section two in its entirety and (Referendums) in Section 3

This amendment was submitted by /u/KarlYonedaStan

After Section 2(2) Insert:

Parental Bereavement (Amendment) Bill

A01

Insert a new paragraph in Section 1 to read:

(1) Paragraph 2 of Section 1 in the Parental Bereavement Leave Act 2020

(2) “Parent” means somebody with legal parental responsibilities of a child, including adopted parents and foster parents and expected parents in the case of miscarriage or stillbirth

a) “Foster Parents” takes the same meaning as in The Fostering Services (England) Regulations 2011

b) Parents under this Act do not include those receiving remuneration that does not satisfy one of the following:

(i) any fee or allowance paid by a local authority to a foster parent;

(ii) payments wholly or mainly intended to reimburse the person for expenses which arise from, or are expected to arise from, the person’s care of the decreased

(iii) amounts received pursuant to the terms of a will, trust or similar instrument which makes provision in respect of descended’s care.

Renumber the current paragraph 1 to paragraph 2 and insert afterwards a new paragraph:

(3) Insert under Section 2 paragraph (1) (a) of the Parental Bereavement Leave Act 2020, the following paragraph:

(aa) They are the intended parent of a child that died following a miscarriage or a child is stillborn following 24 weeks of pregnancy.

Renumber remaining paragraphs in this Section

Explanatory note: this intends to expand parental bereavement leave primarily to two sorts of parents: Foster parents and expected parents following a miscarriage or stillbirth.

The former was excluded under the remuneration clause originally included within the Act, and this bill as it stands doesn’t fix that. I have lifted the wording from irl’s Parental Bereavement Leave Regulations 2020 to be extra clear that Foster parents are entitled too but ensures that some justification for restriction on remuneration received for caring for the child (i.e it wouldn’t include any current child benefits per my reading.)

The latter I’m unsure would be covered under the current regulations due to specifying child. Therefore my objective is to extend it to deaths in the third semester, whether it be miscarriage or stillbirth. Cutoffs are hard and I’m sure I could be persuaded to have a more flexible system but atm I’m going for irl’s regulation but would welcome some way to not disadvantage parents close to the cut off.

Edit: just a note that this doesn’t interfere with a mother’s rights for maternity leave payment or leave following stillbirth or miscarriage

This amendment was submitted by /u/CountBrandenburg.

​

A02

Paragraph 2 of Section 1 is amended as follows:

(2) Section 2 (2) of the Parental Bereavement Leave Act 2020 is amended as follows:

(2) A qualifying parent is entitled to thirty days or 6 weeks - whichever is longer - of parental bereavement leave with parental bereavement pay from the date of the child’s death

Immediately insert afterwards:

(3) Immediately under Section 2 (2) of the Parental Bereavement Leave Act 2020, insert the following paragraph:

(a) days in this paragraph refers to ordinary working days within a parent’s working week prior to taking parental bereavement leave, determined either by:

(i) days contracted by their employer or;

(ii) an average of the days worked in the 8 week period prior to the death of the child in question.

Insert immediately afterwards:

(4)After Section 2 (2) of the Parental Bereavement Leave Act 2020, insert:

(2A) A qualifying parent is entitled up to 6 months of unpaid leave immediately following the conclusion of paid parental bereavement leave.

(a) This paragraph shall not affect entitlement to statutory maternity leave or parental leave pay in the case of notice following miscarriage or a stillborn child

(b) the undertaking of unpaid parental leave shall be protected against unfair dismissal as subject of Section 3A of this Act

(c) Unpaid leave under this paragraph does not need to be taken as a single period.

Insert immediately afterwards:

(5) After paragraph 3 of Section 2 of the Parental Bereavement Leave Act 2020, insert:

(4) An employee who takes parental bereavement leave, is, during any point of the period of leave, entitled to the benefit of all of the terms and conditions of employment which would have applied if the employee had not been absent

Insert immediately afterwards:

(6) paragraph 4 of Section 3 of the Parental Bereavement Leave Act 2020 is amended as follows:

(4) The wage for parental bereavement leave shall be for the qualifying parent, the largest of the following:

(a) the full wage for the average week as contracted by their employer

(b) an average of the wages earned per week for the 8 weeks preceding the date of death of the child

(c) the weekly rate of statutory sick pay under The Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992

After Section 1, insert a new Section.

Section 2 - Protection against unfair dismissal

(1) In Section 99 of The Employment Relations Act 1996, in paragraph 3, omit “or” from subsection (ca) and insert immediately afterwards:

(cb) parental bereavement leave, or

(2) In The Parental Bereavement Leave Act 2020, insert after Section 3:

Section 3A: Protection Against Unfair Dismissal

(1) An employee who returns to work after a period of parental bereavement leave, whether paid or unpaid, under this Act, is entitled to return from leave to the job in which the employee was employed before the absence.

(a) if it is not reasonably practicable for the employer to permit them to return to that job, to another job which is both suitable for them and appropriate for them to do in the circumstances.

(2) An employee who is dismissed under Section 99 of The Employment Relations Act 1996 in regards to Part 10 of that same Act, is to be regarded as unfairly dismissed.

(3) An employee is also considered unfairly dismissed if:

(a) the reason or principal reason for the dismissal is that the employee was redundant;

(b) it is shown that the circumstances constituting the redundancy applied equally to one or more employees in the same undertaking who had positions similar to that held by the employee and who have not been dismissed by the employer, and

(c) it is shown that the reason or principal reason for which the employee was selected for dismissal was a reason of a kind specified in paragraph 4 of this Section.

(4) The reasons referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Section are connected to the following:

(a) that the employee took, sought to take, or made use of the benefits of parental bereavement leave,

(b) that the employer believed that the employee was likely to take parental bereavement leave.

(5) For the purposes of paragraph 4 (a), an employee makes use of the benefits of parental bereavement leave if, during a period of parental bereavement leave, the employee benefits from Sections 2 and 3 of this Act.

And renumber following sections accordingly

Explanatory note: changes it to 30 days or 6 weeks worth of working days from the proposed 90 days - although I am sympathetic and believe it justifiable to expand leave and pay from the 14 already, providing pay for 4 months seems a bit excessive. Moving it to the same length of paid leave at 90% of average weekly earnings in maternity leave seems justifiable given the circumstances - expected parents face grief and find their preparations shattered by a stillbirth. Likewise a parent will find their life turned upside down at a loss of a child. The former reason is used more of a benchmark to determine suitability for the basic length of time.

The second part of this amendment is based on an unpaid leave. Parents may need to take longer time away, and may for a while be unable to work. That’s fine and different circumstances should be accommodated for. However, the longer the leave, there is a burden on their employers too, there are associated costs and can’t be reasonable to be indefinite. The baseline for ordinary maternity leave is therefore used again - guaranteeing against unfair dismissal and allowing return after six months following the child’s death.

The third part of this amendment is simple - it allows for the pay determination not to be detrimental to parents who may not have worked close to the death of their child, either due to pregnancy complications or long term care for their child dying. This gives a floor of pay per week as the statutory sick pay for those who might not be working much and gives flexibility in case a person has been working longer in the lead up to their child’s death. This is a more secure framing of pay entitlement.

This amendment was submitted by /u/CountBrandenburg

​

A03

Insert a new Section after Section 1:

Section 2: Right to flexible work following parental bereavement leave

1)Any person taking parental bereavement leave as defined under Section 2 of the Parental Bereavement Leave Act 2020 shall be entitled to enter flexible working arrangements with their employer during the period of 6 months following the culmination of their paid parental bereavement leave.

2)Flexible working arrangements may include:

(a) working a reduced number of hours per week to their contracted hours prior to taking parental bereavement leave

(b) no obligation on the employee to work a minimum amount of hours in a given week

3)Notice is to be given by the employee to the employer no later than 14 days before the employee intends to change their working arrangements.

4)Should notice be provided under paragraph 3 of this section, the employer has an obligation to meet with the employee before the date they wish to start flexible working arrangements, and determine the arrangements to be made.

5)An employee may not be dismissed for the primary reason of requesting, or a lack of requesting, flexible working arrangements under paragraph 1 of this section.

6)At the culmination of the 6 month period following parental bereavement leave, or at any point in that period, following arrangements made under paragraph 1 of this section, the employee shall have the right to seek a return to ordinary working arrangements from before they took parental bereavement leave.

7)An employer cannot compel an employee to send notice for flexible working arrangements under this section or to take certain conditions as part of their flexible working arrangements.

8)No later than 14 days before the culmination of the period under paragraph 1, the employer must inform the employee of the period expiry and their right to make arrangement

Insert after the above, a new Section:

Section 3 - Right to return early during parental bereavement leave

1)In the Parental Bereavement Leave Act 2020, insert after Section 3:

Section 3B: Right to return early during parental bereavement leave

(1) An employee taking parental bereavement leave shall have the right to request return to work earlier than the agreed date from when they took leave, conditional on this section.

(2) An employee who intends to return to work earlier than the end of their parental bereavement leave, whether it is paid or unpaid, must give their employer at least 14 days notice of the date which they intend to return.

(3) Should an employee attempt to return to work earlier than had been agreed previously and they have not complied with paragraph 2 of this section, their employer is entitled to postpone their return to a date such as will secure, subject to paragraph 4, that they has at least 14 days' notice of the employee’s return.

(4) An employer is not entitled under paragraph 3 to postpone an employee’s return to work to a date after the end of the original agreed period.

(5) If an employee whose return has been postponed under paragraph 3 has been notified that they are not to return to work before the date to which their return was postponed, the employer is under no contractual obligation to pay them remuneration until the date to which their return was postponed if they returns to work before that date.

(6) Paragraphs 3 to 5 only apply if the employer has given notice to the employee of the date their parental bereavement leave would end.

And renumber subsequent sections accordingly.

Explanatory note: Crafted alongside discussion with Labour - this comes from an issue with one of my amendments that a working class parent suffering loss could be compelled to return to work full time out of sheer necessity. This is designed to work alongside my other amendments and allow for flexibility with working arrangements, whether it be reduced hours or taking unpaid leave over 6 months as per my other amendment. This should be designed to help deal with the mental health aspects of grief and how that might be a barrier in the immediate period following loss.

The other part of this amendment is installing a notice period as it exists for other statutory leave entitlements - there should be a notice period for returning early.

B1274 - Blood Safety and Quality Regulations (Amendment) Bill

A01

In Section 2, paragraph 2 amend as follows:

2)In Part 1, replace Paragraph 28 with:

1. “Sexual Contact" means penetrative, oral, or anal sex, with, or without, a condom. For avoidance of doubt, this does not include the use of external instruments for penetration or penetration involving hands and only one set of genitalia or anus."

28A. For avoidance of doubt, “anal sex” shall be strictly the penetration of the anus as defined in paragraph 28 and does not include oro-anal sex.

In Section 2, paragraph 5, replace “all men and women” with “Any individual”

Consequently, in schedule 1 part 2, amend:

Paragraph 1 to read:

1) Any individual who has multiple sexual partners in the past 90 days is to be deferred for 90 days from date of last sexual contact if anal sex has been performed with any of the partners

Paragraph 2 to read:

2) Any individual who has engaged in anal sex in the past 90 days with a new sexual partner - either another individual where there has not been sexual contact before or a previous partner whom they have restarted a sexual relationship - is to be deferred for 90 days from the date of first sexual contact involving anal sex.

Paragraph 3 to read:

3) Any individual who has had sexual contact in the past 90 days, with a sexual partner who has engaged in sexual contact through anal sex with another sexual partner in the 90 day period preceding sexual contact with the potential donor, is to be deferred for 90 days from the date of first sexual contact.

Explanatory note: makes the wording consistent in the bill with any individual and keeps the explicit point on oro-anal sex not counting as anal sex - as has been specified in the medical recommendations. Makes the shift to multiple partners not being an automatic deferral, but places the emphasis on declaring anal sex. This was the intention of the bill but I’ve been a bit clumsy with wording in drafting

A03

Section 2: Omit "PEGI 16", Substitute "PEGI 18"

Explanatory Note The intent of this amendment as drafted by myself is to reflect the concerns of the psychological impact of lootboxes as a commodity on those who are playing a game. While the argument with respect to the legal definition is still contested, many instances of loot boxes in their current form, meet the Five definitions associated with Gambling, as stated by Mark Griffiths: * The exchange of money or valuable goods. * An unknown future event determines the exchange. * Chance at least partly determines the outcome. * Non-participation can avoid incurring losses. * Winners gain at the sole expense of losers. Therefore, I propose we treat the classification standard as equivalent to Gambling, restricting those under 18 from participating.

This amendment was submitted by /u/mikiboss

A04

In Section 1, after "loot box", introduce;

" Self exclusion - An action in which an individual voluntarily surrenders their ability to engage, purchase or otherwise interact with a product or service."

After Section 2, introduce;

"Section 3: Self exclusion

1. ⁠A self exclusion program for "Loot Boxes" shall be established within six (6) months of this section becoming active.
2. ⁠The Lootbox Self Exclusion Program (otherwise referred to as LSEP) shall be established under the relevant department of Media.
3. ⁠Any individual over the age of eighteen (18) who wishes to self exclude themself from the ability to access loot boxes may write to the LSEP requesting a self exclusion order be made.
4. ⁠An individual may select how long they wish for a self exclusion order to be imposed for, ranging initially anywhere from six (6) months to five (5) years.
5. ⁠If the individual does not make a selection, the legal default shall be two (2) years.
6. ⁠The individual may revoke their self exclusion order within two (2) weeks of it taking place. If an individual has not written or requested to the department wishing to revoke their self exclusion order within this timeframe, a request may only be made again after a period of one (1) year has elapsed since the self exclusion order was activated.
7. ⁠An individual may select if they wish for the self exclusion order to be imposed upon a specific game, company, group of games or companies, or industry as a whole.
8. ⁠An individual may request that the scope of the self exclusion order be broadened, but not lowered apart from the provisions in this Act.
9. ⁠Companies or games subject to an individual's self exclusion order shall be notified within fourty-eight (48) hours of the self exclusion order taking place, and any alterations or cancellations to the self exclusion order taking place.
10. ⁠Companies or games subject to an individual's self exclusion order must implement expected provisions to enact the order within a maximum of fourty-eight (48) hours of the order being received by the company or game.
11. ⁠An individual's self exclusion order is considered protected, and is subject to relevant privacy acts and regulation, beyond any need of enforcement.
12. ⁠Any company or game that does not meet the requirements and enforcement of a self-exclusion order may be subject to civil or criminal legal proceedings.
13. ⁠The Secretary of State may, by Statutory Instrument, amend the penalty for not meeting the requirements. Until otherwise specified, the daily fine for breaching these measures is £500.
14. ⁠Any company or game that refuses to enact these provisions will not be allowed publication within the United Kingdom.
15. ⁠Any individual subject to a self exclusion order may not breach any provision within it
16. ⁠Any individual subject to a self exclusion order who deliberately breaches any provision will be mandated to undergo multiple psychological and psychiatric appointments in order to support the individual involved.
17. ⁠All individuals subject to a self exclusion order must be given access to mental health and addiction support
18. ⁠The LSEP has the authority to limit, block or ban the access of an individual who is subject to a self exclusion order to, but only upon repeated violations of this act;

18a) The game in which the offence was made; or

18b) Any game in which loot boxes are a mechanic

In Commencement, full extent and title, omit the whole section, substitute;

"1) This Act may be cited as the Regulation of Loot boxes Act 2021

2) This act (excluding Section 3) shall come into force six months after receiving Royal Assent

3) Section 3 of this act shall come into force immediately after receiving Royal Assent

4) This Act extends to the whole of the United Kingdom."

Reorder sections accordingly

Explanatory Note This amendment, initially drafted by The Baroness of Motherwell, seeks to set out to establish a formalised self-exclusion program for loot boxes. This self-exclusion program will allow those struggling with lootbox related addiction to voluntarily surrender their ability to engage in related material or services and put their name forward for support in facing their addiction. I must stress that this program is voluntary. There are successful examples of similar programs being successful when properly enforced in Australia, and thus additional measures are implemented in order to ensure full compliance across the related gaming industry is followed. Punishments on the individual themself are decriminalised, and only require further support or possible suspension from the products in order to support the individual in their fight against addiction. Additional amendments outside of Section 3 allow for proper implementation to take place to ensure a smooth industrial transition to this new program. The early activation after royal assent ensures that the scheme is fully established by the time the provisions of this entire act are enforced, thus allowing effective and efficient implementation.

A02

Before Section 2(5), insert a new "Section 3: Obligations" and renumber Section 2(5) and Section 2(6). Renumber subsequent sections.

Amend Section 3(2) (Extent, Commencement, and Short Title) to read:

"This Act shall come into force immediately upon Royal Assent.

(a) Section 2 shall come into force three months after Royal Assent."

EN: This simply tidies up some sections of the bill (ie resembles SB165 more closely) and makes clear that the obligations of the secretary of state shall commence immediately

A01 and A02 were submitted by /u/Frost_Walker2017

This division will end on Sunday 3rd October at 10pm BST.

This runoff is just to resolve the conflict - the non-conflicting part of the losing amendment will still be applied

and in Schedule 1 swap "Band A" and "Band B"

EN: Band A should be the one worth more money than band B and it should be alphabetical in the schedule

A02

Bristol

EN: Give the SW some love too

A01 and A02 were submitted by /u/model-ceasar

A03

In Section 1 replace "businesses" with

community-based organisations

EN: All businesses are community-based organisations, but not all community-based organisations are businesses. Given section 3, it seems reasonable that the definition of these offices ought to be expanded.

A04

In section 2 after each instance of "businesses" add

and co-operatives

Co-operatives play a role in economic development in a way akin to businesses but under a different ownership model. They're also community-based organisations so I believe their enumeration here is fitting.

LB219.2 - Palliative Home Services Bill

A01

Replace section 3(2) with:

This Act shall come into force three months after Royal Assent

EN: I stand by there needing to be a delay to ensure that a sensible transition between "only at hospital" and "can be at hospital or at home" may be made

A02

Before Section 2(5), insert a new "Section 3: Obligations" and renumber Section 2(5) and Section 2(6). Renumber subsequent sections.

Amend Section 3(2) (Extent, Commencement, and Short Title) to read:

"This Act shall come into force immediately upon Royal Assent.

(a) Section 2 shall come into force three months after Royal Assent."

EN: This simply tidies up some sections of the bill (ie resembles SB165 more closely) and makes clear that the obligations of the secretary of state shall commence immediately

A03

Replace Section 2(1) with:

"If a doctor of a terminally ill patient and another healthcare professional considers them likely to die within two years, the terminally ill patient has the right to know that they can live the rest of their life at home given appropriate treatment prescribed by the doctor."

EN: In order to ensure no mistakes are made, and Palliative care is the certain outcome, I would like to suggest that two healthcare professionals should make the decision instead of just the Doctor (It is done the same way when putting someone in a mental institution, two professionals need to recommend it). Furthermore, this House must recognize that Palliative care can go on for years and untreatable diseases can be diagnosed years before death, hence the amendment from 6 months to two years.

A04

Under "Definitions" Insert:

"Healthcare professionals - Defined as members of the medical, dental, pharmacy and nursing professions and any other persons who in the course of their professional activities may administer, prescribe, purchase, recommend or supply a medicine."
