Public Bills in Parliament
House of Commons Background Paper: Public Bills in Parliament Standard Note: SN/PC/06507 Last updated: 17 December 2012 Author: Simon Patrick and Mark Sandford Section Parliament & Constitution Centre This Standard Note sets out how legislation is passed through the House of Commons and the House of Lords and explains the terms involved. It includes details of public Bills - i.e. legislation introduced by the Government and by backbench members of Parliament – and hybrid Bills – legislation normally introduced by the Government but which has some specific effects on particular localities or groups of people. The third type of legislation, private Bills, is handled via a number of quite different procedures. These are described in the Library standard note Private Bills in Parliament (SN/PC/06508). Bills are draft laws, and must be considered by and agreed to by both Houses of Parliament in an agreed form before they become Acts of Parliament. Most of those that become law are introduced by the Government: however, individual Members can introduce Private Members’ Bills. These rarely become law without Government support. A Bill undergoes similar procedures in each House. It has three ‘readings’ and, between second and third readings, a ‘committee stage’; in the latter, the Bill is scrutinised clause by clause. There is normally also a ‘report stage’ after the committee stage. After the Bill passes all of these stages in one House, it moves on to the other House. Most high-profile bills, though not all, begin in the Commons. The annual Finance Bill, which gives effect to the Budget, always begins in the Commons as the House of Lords has limited powers in this area. -
Annual Report 2015
Annual Report 2015 challenging religious privilege ABOUT THE NATIONAL SECULAR SOCIETY Founded in 1866, we work towards a society in which all citizens, regardless of religious belief, or lack of religious belief, can live together fairly and cohesively. We campaign for a secular democracy with a separation of religion and state, where everyone’s Human Rights are respected equally. This report covers the period October 2014 – October 2015 THE SECULAR CHARTER Our campaigning and policy objectives are guided by our Secular Charter. The National Secular Society campaigns for a secular state, where: • There is no established state religion. • Everyone is equal before the law, regardless of religion, belief or non-belief. • The judicial process is not hindered or replaced by religious codes or processes. • Freedom of expression is not restricted by religious considerations. • Religion plays no role in state-funded education, whether through religious affiliation of schools, curriculum setting, organised worship, religious instruction, pupil selection or employment practices. • The state does not express religious beliefs or preferences and does not intervene in the setting of religious doctrine. • The state does not engage in, fund or promote religious activities or practices. • There is freedom of belief, non-belief and to renounce or change religion. • Public and publicly-funded service provision does not discriminate on grounds of religion, belief or non-belief. • Individuals and groups are neither accorded privilege nor disadvantaged because of their religion, belief or non-belief. 01 FROM THE PRESIDENT Secularism’s role has You might have thought that the ‘Trojan Horse’ affair would have shaken the never been so important Government’s faith in faith schools, but This has been another significant year for once more Mr Cameron gives them a free the NSS, with the prospect of an even pass. -
Crossrail Act 2008 (C.18) Which Received Royal Assent on 22 July 2008
These notes refer to the Crossrail Act 2008 (c.18) which received Royal Assent on 22 July 2008 CROSSRAIL ACT 2008 ________________ EXPLANATORY NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. These explanatory notes relate to the Crossrail Act 2008 ("the Act") which received Royal Assent on 22 July 2008. They have been prepared by the Department for Transport in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament. 2. The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND 3. The main purpose of this Act is to secure the powers necessary to build Crossrail. Crossrail will consist of new rail tunnels running west-east through central London connecting directly with existing surface rail routes to Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west and Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. By connecting the major London rail terminals of Paddington and Liverpool Street, Crossrail will enable interconnecting mainline train services to cross the centre of London via a number of new purpose-built stations. HYBRIDITY 4. The Bill for the Act was treated during its passage through Parliament as a Hybrid Bill, because it contained provisions which have an impact on the interests of particular individuals, as well as containing provisions of a more general public nature. A Hybrid Bill is a Public Bill promoted by the Government which affects particular private interests in a way different from the generality of people affected by the Bill. -
