MPs who support the controversial bill to change the law on smacking will propose a last-minute amendment, to try to reassure parents they will not be prosecuted for minor smacking.
It is understood that the amendment is a Labour initiative and has been the subject of negotiation between it and other minor parties.
MPs will debate the bill again today ahead of church-led demonstrations for and against Sue Bradford's bill.
The Destiny Church will denounce the bill during a march in Wellington today, while the Anglicans will host a service to show their support for it.
