Concealment of Location of Victim Remains Bill
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 bill provides that offenders who refuse to disclose the location of a victim's body may be denied parole.MP in charge
