Government Bill
Published date: 18 Aug 2026

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

The single broad policy of this omnibus bill is to make the military justice system easier to navigate and administer, to better enable command to focus on operational outputs.
