Parliament Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 21 Mar 2025

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.

This is an omnibus bill that consolidates and modernises the law about Parliament, replacing the 4 Acts that currently relate to the operation of Parliament.
