Amendment Papers (previously known as SOPs)

Amendment Papers (APs) set out proposed amendments to a bill. They may be in the name of a member or a Minister. An AP may also set out a proposal to divide a bill.

Prior to 8 December 2023, Amendment Papers were called Supplementary Order Papers (SOPs). References to “APs” on this site include SOPs where applicable..
