20 Weekly Information Bulletin
Draft Bills under consideration or published during 2010–11 Session
As part of the reforms to the legislative process initiated by the Modernisation Committee, the government now publishes a number of bills each session in draft form, before they are introduced into parliament as formal bills. This enables consultation and pre-legislative scrutiny before a bill is issued formally.
The House can refer these to a joint committee of the Commons and Lords appointed for the specific purpose of examining and reporting on a named draft bill. A draft bill may also be referred to one of the departmental select committees or a select committee appointed for that specific purpose.
Listed below are draft bills that are currently under consideration or that have been published during the 20010/11 Session of Parliament. Further information on draft bills, including those from previous sessions can be viewed on the Parliament website at: www.parliament.uk/bills/draftbills.cfm. This page links to electronic copies of the draft bills and related publications including select committee reports on the draft bills.

Complete list of Private Bills before Parliament this Session
The following is a list of Private Bills before Parliament. Private Bills originate outside Parliament and are promoted by bodies seeking special powers not available under the general law. Each Bill starts with a petition to Parliament from the promoter for leave to bring in a Bill. Any such petitions will be noted below until they gain a 1st Reading.
Parties affected by a Bill may present a petition against it, clearly stating the grounds of their objection. The petitioning period will be shown beneath the Bill until the deadline has expired.

The laying of Orders before the House of Commons is recorded in the Statutory Instrument List published by the Journal Office: www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmsilist/cmsilist.htm.
The Journal Office list records when Orders were laid and in the case of affirmative instruments, whether a motion for their approval has been tabled. In the case of Negative Instruments, the number of praying days left (in which a motion calling for the instrument to be annulled may be laid) is noted.
Outstanding Orders are listed below. Details of previous Orders are available in earlier editions of the bulletin.

Northern Ireland Legislation: proceedings as at 9 July 2010
The Northern Ireland Assembly was established by the Northern Ireland Act 1998. Following devolution, legislative power in most areas was transferred from Westminster to the Assembly. However, under the terms of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, certain powers are retained by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and are not devolved matters. These include constitutional and security issues, law and order, policing, electoral matters and relations with the European Union. Reserved matters, which include the criminal law and civil defence, can be transferred at a future date. Legislation in non- devolved or excepted matters continues to be made by the Westminster Parliament under the 1998 Act in the form of Orders in Council, Acts and Statutory Instruments. This page includes Orders in Council that relate to reserved matters, the criminal law, electoral and policing matters, made under Section 85 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
The Northern Ireland Assembly was restored from 8 May 2007 following a period of suspension from midnight on 14 October 2002. During suspension, legislation, which would otherwise have come within the competence of the Assembly, was made by Order in Council under Schedule 1 to the Northern Ireland Act 2000. The 2000 Act was also used to make Orders in Council which, while the Assembly was active, would have been made under Section 85 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 (Orders making provision for certain reserved matters, for example the criminal law).
Unless made without Parliamentary Approval by reason of urgency, draft Orders in Council must be approved by a resolution of both Houses before being made (affirmative procedure). Orders in Council made before Parliamentary approval by reason of urgency (U), must be approved by both Houses within 40 days of being made. Some UK Acts, for example dealing with social security or pensions, provide for corresponding provisions to be made for Northern Ireland by means of an Order in Council under the 2000 Act, subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House (negative procedure (N)), rather than by the normal affirmative procedure.
Where appropriate, proposals for draft Orders in Council are issued for public consultation and on occasions may be considered by the Northern Ireland Grand Committee (G), before the draft Order is laid. Prior to formal approval being sought on the floor of the Commons, draft Orders are normally considered in a Delegated Legislation Committee (D) or, less frequently, by the Northern Ireland Grand Committee. The Northern Ireland Orders Grand Committee (O) would also, from time to time, consider a draft Order before formal approval is sought on the floor of the Lords.
Outstanding Orders are listed below. Details of previous Orders are available in earlier editions of the bulletin.
To distinguish between UK Bills/Acts applying to Northern Ireland and Acts passed by the Assembly, see the positioning of the term ‘Northern Ireland’. Examples of each are given below:
UK legislation applying to Northern: Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Act 2007 Northern Ireland Assembly legislation: Carers and Direct Payments Act (Northern Ireland) 2002
Bills introduced into the Northern Ireland Assembly can be found on the Northern Ireland Assembly website: www.niassembly.gov.uk/

White Papers and Green Papers received since last Bulletin
WHITE PAPERS are issued by the Government as statements of policy, and often set out proposals for legislative changes, which may be debated before a Bill is introduced. Some White Papers may invite comments.
GREEN PAPERS set out for discussion, proposals which are still at a formative stage. Not all discussion papers are published and put on general release: some are sent only to a predetermined list of consultees. This is a matter solely for the Department concerned. Papers to which an ISBN and price are appended are normally available through The Stationery Office. For others, application should be made to the department concerned. External links provided in this section are correct as at the time of going to press, however they are not updated after that date.
