The final stage in one House, where members debate the bill in its near-final form.
Third Reading is usually the final stage of a bill in a particular House. It gives members a last chance to debate the bill as amended. In the Commons, amendments at Third Reading are normally very limited. In the Lords, amendments may still be considered. If the bill passes Third Reading, it then moves to the other House or, if both Houses have agreed it, towards Royal Assent.
