Private Members' Bills
The numbering of private Members’ public bills is sequential, commencing with C-201.
Under the Standing Orders, bills which have neither received Royal Assent nor been
withdrawn or dropped from the Order Paper continue from one session to the
next for the duration of a Parliament.
The availability of a bill on the Website may be delayed by two or more working
days following the completion of its stage in the legislative process, and by up
to two weeks following its Royal Assent. The printed version (as opposed to this
on-line version) is the official version of the bill.
Bills may be reprinted a number of times throughout the legislative process, but
not necessarily at all stages. In the tables below, you will find links to the versions
of bills studied at the various stages in the House of Commons. These tables do
not, however, indicate the legislative stages completed for the bills.
For information about the legislative stages completed and other general information
on private Members’ bills, please consult LEGISinfo,
prepared by the Library of Parliament.
