Modern Slavery Bill
Members' bills are bills introduced by members who are not Ministers. Every second Wednesday the House gives precedence to local, private, and members' bills. On these days members' bills are debated.
At least eight members' bills awaiting first reading must be on the Order Paper on each members' day. When a space on the Order Paper becomes available, a ballot is held to decide which members' bill(s) will be introduced. Members enter bills in the ballot by lodging notices of proposal with the House Office and providing a copy of the proposed bill. This can be done on any working day. The proposed bill is then posted on the website and members can publicly indicate their support for the bill prior to the ballot.
If 61 or more non-executive members indicate support for a member’s bill, the bill will be introduced without needing to be selected through the ballot.
The purpose of this jointly sponsored bill is to implement a statutory framework to strengthen and coordinate actions to combat modern slavery.Related details

Supporting MPs
Proposed members' bills that earn the support of 61 or more members of Parliament who are not part of the Executive are introduced on the next sitting day, without needing to be drawn from a members' bill ballot. MPs who are part of the Executive (such as Ministers and Parliamentary Under-secretaries) can also formally indicate their support for a proposed bill, but are not counted towards the threshold for introduction by majority support.
