  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  MPs were considering the Sovereign Grant Bill[1]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :Amendment 8, page 6, line 8, at end add
  
  :â(6) The Trustees shall also review the percentage for the time being specified in Step 1 of section 6(1) as soon as practicable if, over the financial year immediately preceding the base year, the income account net surplus of the Crown Estate increased by more than the trend rate of GDP growth.
  :(7) In subsection (6), âthe trend rate of GDP growthâ means the estimate of the trend rate of GDP growth most recently published by the Office for Budget Responsibility which is applicable to that year.
  :(8) Subsections (2) to (4) shall also apply to a review carried out under subsection (6).â.
  
  Had it not been rejected the amendment would have added the above text to the end of Clause 7 of the Bill[2].
