Article summary

The House of Commons Library has published an updated briefing on the Agriculture Bill 2019-21 as it continues its passage through Parliament. The House of Lords have returned the Bill to the House of Commons with amendments, following its third reading in the Lords on 1 October 2020. The amendments are considered on the floor of the Commons on 12 October 2020.​​ This period is known as 'ping pong'. During ping pong, the Bill travels back and forth between the two Houses, until both Houses agree on the text of the Bill.
