Government Bill
Published date: 16 Dec 2024

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 creates a new offence of stalking and harassment to ensure the harm victims experience is recognised and the offenders prosecuted effectively.
