The Government is being forced to push its legislative agenda into next year after privately admitting that at least seven bills meant to become law months ago will have to be delayed again 🔴 HugoGye reports
A number of other proposed laws contained in the last Queen’s Speech have been abandoned entirely, including the Bill of Rights and the Schools Bill, after months of chaos amid ministerial changes that have sown uncertainty in Government. “Some bills have ended up stuck in the Commons because they can’t work out what to do with them,” a Labour source said.
Peers have yet to sign off on the Online Safety Bill, the longest piece of legislation ever written, and are also considering the Levelling Up Bill, a sprawling law that is highly vulnerable to extra amendments because it covers so many different topics, prompting critics to compare it to a “Christmas tree” strung up with decorations.
The battles in the Lords have also led to less of the usual co-operation that helps the upper house run smoothly.
