Private Members’ Bills (PMBs) provide a valuable opportunity for members to promote legislation on the causes they support. The Government has a good record of supporting PMBs and last session the highest number of PMBs received Royal Assent since 2003. The Government has no plans to bring forward proposals on timetabling for PMBs.
