ABSTRACT
The Keeling Schedule40 is a device which ‘sets out the wording of the enactment, indicating by bold type the changes proposed.’41 It is not capable of universal or even wide application. ‘It is only used where the changes made by the Bill in the previous enactments are exclusively textual amendments or repeals … The Keeling technique not only shows, in the Schedule how the law will look once it is amended, but also makes clear, in the text of the Bill itself, how the law is being amended.’42
