division_name: Utilities Bill
motion: <p>As amended in the Standing Committee, considered. 
  
   
  
  <p>
   I beg to move,
  <p> 
   
    That the Bill be re-committed to the former Committee.
  <p>the Government intends to bring forward amendments later in the passage of the Bill
  <p>We do not have any comments on the new clauses and schedules at this stage other than to say that it is completely unsatisfactory to have significant amendments with far-reaching implications being laid at this stage in the parliamentary process. We will be working up our position on these amendments during the coming week.
  <p>They have been brought forward in a piecemeal way and have not been the subject of any industry consultation.
  <p>I will undertake during the Committee's deliberations to have a check made on the number of amendments that are likely to be tabled and on what issues.--[ Official Report, Standing Committee A , Tuesday 4 April 2000; c. 667.]
  <p>Question put :--
  <p>The House divided:  Ayes 137, Noes 282.
