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 seeks to wind up the Carter Trust, established under the will of the late Charles Rooking Carter, and enable Public Trust to make distributions as executor of the will.
