  Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill - Schedule 8 - Appointment, Suspension and Removal of Senior Police Officers
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted to set the threshold of Police and Crime Panel required to vote to veto the appointment of a Chief Constable at two-thirds rather than three-quarters. 
  
  MPs were considering the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill. The motion rejected in this vote was:
  :That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 98.
  
  Lords amendment 98 stated[2][3]:
  
  :Page 135, line 16, leave out âthree-quartersâ and insert âtwo-thirdsâ
  
  This would have effect on Schedule 8 of the Bill[4][5] titled: "Appointment, suspension and removal of senior police officers" and reduce the threshold for a police and crime panel vetoing the appointment of a Chief Constable appointment from three-quarters to two-thirds.  The threshold is set in respect of the number of members of the police and crime panel at the time.
