I must admit I don't fully understand the process involved in legislation here. Almost every amendment raised in the Lords Committee Stage was withdrawn (many having been declared to be a 'probing' amendments) with a promise/threat that they would "return to the matter" having studied the Ministers comments.

There is certainly a Report stage in the Lords, looking at other bills.

Can anyone provide a simple guide to the legislation process to explain when the Lords will return to it and how the various Lord's stages fit with the Commons stages?
