It’s true. And also you need to understand how amendments work. If they’re proposed by the governing party or a strong cross-party group, they’ve a decent chance of govt support and passing. If it’s 3 Tories, it’s fishing for discourse www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/bi...
From an Institute for Government explainer. • To make a political point: MPs or Peers, particularly those from opposition parties, may propose amendments with the aim of advertising alternative policies or challenging the Government. These will often have little chance of succeeding but are a means of debating concerns in Parliament. • To probe the Government's reasoning: some amendments are tabled to encourage the Government to better justify its legislation and show it has properly considered its implications.
