The Passage of Bills in Westminster

Visible to anyone in the world

The Legislative Process in Westminster – The Stages of a Bill:

 

The Westminster parliament website is well worth a visit. It has a useful webpage that guides you through the passage of a Bill in the U.K. parliament. It can be accessed at:

Track the Progress of a Particular Bill:

 

There is also a webpage on the U.K. parliament website that tracks the progress of all bills in the U.K. parliament. The 2009-10 bills include a ‘Constitutional Reform Bill’ and a ‘Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill’. The two are quite distinct in a number of ways – not least in their respective chances of successfully completing the parliamentary process to become law. The webpage can be found at:
