Paragraph

After the debate, the MPs present take a vote on the bill in the Plenary Hall. The MPs will have been updated in advance by their specialist colleagues who did the preparatory work in the committee. A couple of days may pass between the debate and voting, because voting often takes place at a fixed time every week. Amendments are put to the vote first, followed by voting on the entire bill.

If the bill is adopted, it is submitted to the Senate.
