:''"Consolidation Act" redirects here; not to be confused with the Royal Navy Consolidation Act 1749 or the Pennsylvania Act of Consolidation, 1854.'' A consolidation bill is a bill introduced into the Parliament of the United Kingdom with the intention of consolidating several Acts of Parliament or Statutory Instruments into a single Act. Such bills simplify the statute book without significantly changing the state of the law, and are subject to an expedited Parliamentary procedure. ==Procedure== Consolidation bills are introduced in the House of Lords which, by convention, has primacy in these matters. The Lords has the only substantive discussion on the bill, at its second reading, before the bill is sent to a joint committee of both Houses which may propose amendments to it. Subject to this, the Lords' third reading and all readings in the House of Commons are usually formalities and pass without debate.〔 Most consolidation bills are proposed in the first instance by the Law Commission,〔 and it is this prior consideration that gives rise to the expedited process afforded to these bills.〔 Every consolidation bill proposed by the Law Commission has been passed by Parliament. Once a consolidation bill receives royal assent it becomes a consolidation Act. An example of a consolidation Act is the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000, which consolidated into a single Act parts of sentencing legislation previously spread across twelve separate Acts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Consolidation bill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
