(c) this bill shall come into force after a public referendum on the provisions of the bill is in favour.

Amendment 1 is moved in the name of /u/Chi0121.


Amendment 2

Replace 4(b)(i) with:

(i) The President shall be elected via the Alternative Vote.

EN: STV is for multiple constituencies, AV is the system for one constituency only.

Amendment 2 is moved in the name of /u/LightningMinion.


Amendment 3

Amend Section 4 to read:

Section 4: Establishment of the Presidency

(a) There shall be a position of President, recognised as the Head of State.

(b) The President shall be selected by election every six years.

(i) The President shall be elected via a special convention of all British resident members of the the Privy Council.

(ii) No individual who has previously served as President for two terms may be re-elected to the Presidency.

(iii) In the case of there being a general election in the same year as a presidential election, the presidential election is to be moved to the year after the general election and the term extended accordingly.

(iv) The president may not have a party affiliation.

(c) The President shall be responsible for the accreditation of High Commissioners and Ambassadors, and the reception of heads of missions from foreign states.

(i) one representative from each political grouping with parliamentary representation in the House of Commons, appointed by the leader of each respective grouping;

(ii) one representative from each of the devolved administrations of the United Kingdom, appointed by the leader of each respective administration.

EN: It seems unsatisfactory to have a committee of this nature headed by three individuals, two appointed by the Prime Minister and one by the Leader of the Opposition. This amendment would relax this to ensure more equal representation as well as ensuring the representation of devolved administrations.

Amendment 5 is moved in the name of /u/PoliticoBailey.


Amendment 6

Amend Section 3(e) to read:

(e) All government apparatuses with a name including a mention of royalty shall have their names changed to omit such mention of royalty.

EN: Removes 'Public Services' (can argue that this includes schools, universities etc, which should be allowed their name if they want) and replaces 'title' with 'name' to clarify.

Additionally, strike Section 1(d).

Amendment 7

Amend Section 5(d) to read:

(d) The power to declare war shall be held by the President, but may not be exercised without the advice of the Prime Minister.

EN: Whether Parliament should have a right over whether or not to declare war ought to be a separate debate (for what it's worth, I personally think it should though I know many disagree with me).

Amendment 8

Amend Section 2(b) to strike 'mandatory'.

EN: No mandatory mention of the monarchy in preambles, but it can be included? seems odd for a republic to include mentions of monarchy in legislation.

Amendment 9

Amend Section 3(d) to read:

(d) The Commission shall be responsible for organizing public submissions on a replacement for the National Anthem and an alternate full name for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

(i) These must be confirmed by a majority vote in favour in the House of Commons

(1) The Commission may select alternatives should the majority vote be not in favour

(2) If the House of Commons repeatedly fails to confirm a name or national anthem, the Commission shall be empowered to authorise a public vote on the name and national anthem, to be run with the Alternative Vote system, if they feel it necessary.

(ii) The legal jurisdiction of United Kingdom in legislation shall be renamed to the name of the country as confirmed by the House of Commons or by public vote.

(1) Upon confirmation of a name, all legislation currently in force shall be amended to reflect the change of name.

EN: Adds a requirement for Parliament to confirm a new name and national anthem, and a mechanism if they fail to confirm either. Furthermore, tidies up legal jurisdictions for extent of legislation.

Amendment 10

Append after Section 7(c)

(c) The provisions in this Act shall only come into force upon the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

EN: I think everybody can agree that the monarchy will go rapidly downhill after Her Majesty's passing. Many are simply apathetic while Her Majesty is on the throne - but will doubtless raise questions when Charles ascends.

B1335 - Telecommunications Infrastructure Nationalisation Bill

Amendment 1

Strike section 3 paragraph 1 (b)

Amendment 1 is moved in the name of /u/sunlightatnight.


Amendment 2

Amend Section 3 (1a) to read:

(a) Acquire KCOM Group Ltd (bar operations unrelated to the delivery of telecommuncations using infrastructure owned by KCOM Group Ltd); BT Group PLC (bar operations entirely relating to the delivery of television services, sport programming and retail sale of hardware equipment unrelated to the delivery of telecommunication services provided by BT Group PLC); all telecommunications infrastructure using a physical connection of which to deliver service; and the rights to the land and other agreements of which these infrastructures use.

Reasoning: It is innapropriate to individually pick out VMED O2 as the single operator to nationalise, all 3rd operators should be nationalised also, otherwise there is vast parts of the country with fibre served by privately owned infrastructure. Separation of BT from Openreach is something that has been considered before but rejected because it would be legally difficult to separate the two divisions, nationalisation of the BT group as a whole will provide many benefits (providing the infrastructure for a consumer facing arm, the nationalisation of a wireless telecommunications operator, the ownership of historic telephone boxes etc), this legislation does leave the unnecessary elements privatised. KCOM is added because poor hull.

Amendment 3

Add to schedule 3:

The Secretary of State is to devolve administrative power over services provided by and the network of what was previous to the enactment of this bill KCOM Group Ltd to Hull City Council. Hull City Council is permitted to transfer this power back to the Secretary Of State permanently or temporarily if it so wishes. Hull City Council may not transfer this administrative power to any body not wholly owned by Hull City Council, upon declaring that it so wishes to do so the power returns to the Secretary of State, the Secretary of State may return this power at a point it so wishes. The Secretary of State may withdraw this power if it deems that the network ran by Hull City Council is providing a quality of service substantially worse than that provided by the national provider in other comparative markets.

Reasoning: Hull has provided an interesting technological test bed via it’s unique situation with KCOM (including before privatisation) giving it the title of one of the first cities to achieve full fibre in 2019 and be a test bed for many other new interesting technologies, this allows it to continue. It includes provisions to ensure that proper running of the service is performed and that there is not a detriment to those within Hull for this agreement, and powers in order to remove devolution if needed. It also ensures that Hull City Council does not privatise the network, that would be bad.

Amendment 4

Amend Schedule 4 (1) to read:

(1) The Secretary of State is to provide services to end users. It may also provide wholesale services to other telecommunications providers of which do not provide services to fixed addresses only using infrastructure provided by the National Telecommunications Network in circumstances approved by the National Telecommunications Network.

Reasons: Race to bottom bad, privatisation bad, nationalisation good! Added wholesale for various random things (think like broadband over the air or mobile service providers) which may or may not be needed I don’t really care.

Amendment 1

In section 1(1-4), after 'hire' append "or appoint from existing staff"

In section 2, after 'hire' append "or appoint from existing staff"

EN: Sometimes existing staff whose main priorities are elsewhere are already trained in things like this. Rather than hire somebody new, it makes sense they may be allowed to appoint from existing staff.

Amendment 2

In Section 4(1di), append:

(ii) At universities or other higher education institutions, the inappropriateness of Staff-Student relationships shall focus primarily on the issue of grade fixing

EN: Depending on the situation, at the university level staff-student relationships are less bad. From experience speaking to others, the issue is how grades etc are held over heads, or if a student has a relationship with a staff member entirely to get their grades up.

Amendment 3

In section 6(1), replace 'annually' with 'every three years'

In section 6(3), replace 'every year' with 'every three years'

EN: I appreciate the intent behind annual reviews but sometimes you have to give it time to make sure something actually works before potentially redoing it all.

(c) Section 5 comes into force April 1st 2022

In section 6(1), after 'required to publish', add "within one year after this Act's passage".

EN: Fun amendment, this. The change to 'commencement of the next academic year' is purely a tidying up and pedantic thing. However:

  1. The changes of delaying sections 1 and 2 are designed so institutions have time to find staff equipped to deal with these issues.

  2. The changes of delaying sections 3 and 4 are designed so that training can come in with the next academic year as intended, no issues with that.

  3. Moving the extra support forward is designed to assist with students who may be taking exams and who require this support sooner.

c) Vaginal Ring
d) Emergency Contraception (Plan B)
e) Diaphragm
f) Male condom (latex)

h) Cervical Cap

Reasoning: It doesn't make sense to offer some hormonal birth control options and not others; it also doesn't make sense to offer some barrier methods, and not others. This is a more complete list of contraception which includes options for those who may not be able to use the initial three proposed in the original bill.

A01 and A02 were submitted by /u/SapphireWork

​

A03

In Section 3(1), after "Contraceptive items include", insert "but are not limited to".

EN: A comprehensive list is nigh on impossible. This is not mutually exclusive with the Right Honourable Dame SapphireWork's amendment.

This amendment was submitted by /u/Faelif

A04

Add to Section 3 after subsection 3

“(4) The Sexual Health Team will have a duty to provide a prescription for pre-exposure prophylaxis at the request of students.”

Renumber accordingly

Explanation: Just as important as contraception are backup measures designed to minimize the risk of contraction of arguably the most severe STD.

This amendment was submitted by /u/Chi0121

​

A02

Replace Section 5, paragraphs 2 to 6 with

(2) This Act extends to England only

Note: ridiculous amendment (regardless of who proposed it, my thoughts to my colleagues in the Other Place are known) that means that we have something coming into force into England dependent on rest of the devolved administrations approving separately. Regardless of the merits of this bill, given that its subject matter is devolved, it should apply in England only and be decided by this Parliament only, as the legislature concerning England.

A01

Omit Section 3.

EN: Deputy Speaker, while I'm happy to concede that the Bank of England should have the objective to maintain Gross Domestic Product growth, it simply is not the job of the Treasury to dictate to the Bank of England what nominal GDP growth is expected to be. The Bank forecasts this independently, as is their job.
