Consequential amendment
A consequential amendment in the UK Parliament, is an amendment that is required because of a change to other for example as in the Building Safety Act 2022 (Consequential Amendments and Prescribed Functions) and Architects Act 1997 (Amendment) Regulations 2023, which are changes to other legislation and regulations that occur as a consequence of the Building Safety Act being passed. Consequential ammendements may also occur as a result of ammendments made by the House of Commons or by the House of Lords. As described in the Proceedings on Bills returned from the Commons "7.154 When a bill is returned from the Commons with amendments, it is only those amendments which are before the House. The other parts of the bill are no longer at issue, having been agreed to by both Houses, and cannot be amended except by a "consequential amendment", that is, an amendment immediately consequent upon the acceptance or rejection of a Commons amendment. So further amendments proposed at this stage are only admissible if they are relevant to a Commons amendment."
