Private Members' Bills - Dates

Following the recent ballot for Private Members' Bills, there is a motion from the Leader of the House that should go through unopposed later today.

It reads...

"That Private Members' Bills shall have precedence over Government business on 4 September, 11 September, 16 October, 13 November, 27 November, 4 December 2026, 15 January, 29 January, 5 February, 26 February, 5 March, 12 March and 19 March 2027."

These are the Friday dates that have been set aside for the bills.

The bills will get their first reading in the Commons on Wednesday, June 17, at which point the relevant MPs will announce which date they have selected for their second reading. Only the top seven in the ballot are guaranteed a full day's debate.
