Arms Legislation 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.
The amendments in this omnibus bill deal with an inter-related topic that can be regarded as implementing a single broad policy. That policy is to improve public safety by adjusting legislative frameworks to impose tighter controls on the use and possession of arms.MP in charge
