  • If any of the amendments are put forward and accepted then the Motion of Thanks is adopted in the amended form.
  • Amendments may refer to matters contained in the Address as well as to matters which, in the opinion of the member, the Address has failed to mention.
  • At the end of the discussion, the motion is put to vote.
  • The Motion of Thanks must be passed in the House, Otherwise, it amounts to the defeat of the government.
