    Building a Bill

    How does an election promise become an act of parliament? For this special episode of Next Week in Westminster, we start with the idea of a law and follow it through the various stages in the House of Commons. We unpick the complexities and traditions that make the Palace of Westminster the heart of Democracy. And there’s more to come as, in our next special episode, we will continue the Bill’s journey through the House of Lords and all the way to Royal Assent. This is a public episode.

  3. Courts, Carbon Emissions & Costings

    FEB 6

    Courts, Carbon Emissions & Costings

    This week’s agenda spans victim protection, climate policy, and household finances. Peers begin line-by-line scrutiny of the Victims and Courts Bill, which would force offenders to attend sentencing, restrict parental rights for serious sexual offenders, and block the use of NDAs to silence victims. The Lords also take forward the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill, aimed at unlocking investment to cut aviation emissions, while MPs debate the annual uprating of pensions and benefits, police funding, and local government finance. It is a reminder that some of the most consequential decisions in Westminster are technical, procedural, and easy to miss until they directly affect daily life. 1:33 - Victims & Courts Bill 14:00 - Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill 26:08 - Uprating Pensions and Social Security This is a public episode.
