The Government has brought forward an ambitious legislative programme, with 24 bills currently before Parliament, and we will continue to make progress. So far this session 40 bills have been exchanged between the Houses, of which 24 have received Royal Assent.

The arrangement of business in the House of Lords is a matter for that place. I will announce future business in the House of Commons in the usual way.
