The House of Lords version of Finance (No 2) Bill 2023 was published on 21 June 2023, incorporating all changes agreed during the Bill’s passage through the Commons.
All UK government amendments to the Bill were passed at report stage in the House of Commons on 20 June 2023. All other amendments were either not called or were voted down (including the Treasury Committee amendments which would have halted abolition of the OTS).
The final version of the Bill has been scheduled for consideration in the House of Lords on 4 July 2023 (according to the House of Lords calendar). Finance Bills are ‘money bills’, which means the Lords have no power to make amendments.
