Legislative Drafting: Parliamentary Scrutiny
Asked by: Richard Holden (Conservative - Basildon and Billericay)
Tuesday 10th June 2025

Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, what guidance she has issued on when there should be pre-legislative scrutiny of Bills that have constitutional implications.

Answered by Lucy Powell - Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons

Chapter 21 of the Guide to Making Legislation sets out the broad principles and process by which a bill is considered for publication in draft for pre-legislative scrutiny. Decisions in relation to whether a bill is published in draft are taken on a case by case basis in the broader context of the overall legislative programme.
