Motion amendment
A motion amendment, relates to a bill amendment in the UK parliament and is described here as such:
"an amendment is a subsidiary motion moved in the course of debate upon another motion which interposes a new cycle of debate and decision between the proposal and decision of the main motion and question. In its turn, the debate on an amendment may be similarly intercepted by the proposal of and decision upon a further subsidiary amendment (amendment to an amendment), or it may be superseded by a dilatory motion. The proposer of an amendment to a question selected by the Chair is frequently invited by the Chair to speak to the amendment during debate, particularly one subject to a business or programme order, without moving it; at the end of the debate the proposer can formally move the amendment and press the matter to a vote. Amendments may be tabled as soon as the relevant motion has been tabled. It is not necessary to wait until the motion is published. In many respects the procedures relating to amendments apply equally to amendments to motions and amendments to clauses and schedules of bills."
