Unit 2 - P2: Explain the process of the making an Act of ParliamentAlex Omidvar
P2- explain the process of making an Act of Parliament
Introduction
In this assignment, I’m going to illustrate every stage that government follows in order to pass a
law. Furthermore, I have included recent laws that demonstrates the process that parliament
follows to create a new law. Moreover, to fully understand the legislation of parliament, I have
created an imaginary Bill regarding issues with education.
Introduction – What are you writing about?
Green paper: Green papers are consultation documents that are made by the government. The
purpose of this document is to establish a status quo in which allow people both inside and
outside parliament to have a say on its policy or legislative proposal.
White Paper: white papers are policy document that are created by the government that states
their proposals for legislation that can occur in the future. Moreover, white papers might
sometimes have a draft version of a Bill that is being planned which allows a further discussion
as well as final changes if there are any.
Public Bills: they have the potential to alter the law because it applies to the general
population. Additionally, the Bill will still require to be analyzed by parliament whereas the
majority of public bills have been put forward by other MP’s or the member of the House of
Lords, these are known as Private Member’s Bills.
Private Bills: they are typically promoted by different organizations around the country.
However, private Bills can only change the law if the law affects an individual or a particular
company rather than the general public. In contrast, the opposition groups can introduce
petition to parliament against the proposal Bill in which they can convey their objections to
committees of MP’s and Lords. Moreover, there have been only a few Bills that have actually
become law. For instance “the abortion Act 1967” This law legalized abortion in 1967 in which
the NHS is responsible to offer free service regarding this act.
Private members’ Bill: They are public Bills that are introduced by the members of parliament
and Lords who do not have the title of being the government ministers. Similarly, the aim is to
alter the law therefore it can be applied to the general population. By contrast, publicizing
private members Bills can indirectly influence legislation while it has the potential to become
law.
