So what should we expect? TLDR put Tuesday 22 September in your diary!
Tues 15 - Monitoring of the internal market https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend">
MPs will debate clauses on the functions that will be given to new independent office which will be set up in the CMA. There are some amendments requiring DA approval on exercise of these functions, but these are unlikely to pass.

Tue 15 cont. - new clauses related to the internal market https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐄" title="Kuh" aria-label="Emoji: Kuh">
Two interesting amendments here, one from Lib Dem MP, requiring the UK gov to come up with dispute resolution, and one from Labour putting common frameworks on a statutory footing. Both again, probably unlikely to pass.

On clauses that give UK ministers new spending powers in devolved areas. These clauses are opposed by Scottish & even more so by Welsh govt. Labour have amndmts to give UK parl or DAs mores say in how this money is spent.

MPs will debate the most controversial clauses of the bill, & the Lib Dems have tabled amndmts to remove them entirely. BUT Bob Neill& #39;s amndmt won& #39;t be voted on this day as it affects commencement.

Tues 22 - UK market access provisions on goods, services & qualificationshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛒" title="Shopping cart" aria-label="Emoji: Shopping cart">
This will be the & #39;block buster& #39; day & a lot to cover here. MPs will finally get to the main part of the bill on market access provisions - to which the DAs are strongly opposed & strong rhetoric from SNP.

Tues 22 - everything else
Bob Neill& #39;s amendment requiring HoC approval before the provisions that allow UK ministers to break the law come into force. With several Tory MPs signed up this is most likely to cause a government defeat - unless a compromised is reached.

No doubt there will be more amendments to come - we& #39;ll be watching this space.
