In the light of the chaos happening in the world at the moment, it’s understandable that the day-to-day business of government often gets overlooked in the mainstream media.
Despite their current difficulties, the current Labour administration has finally been able to start delivering on their agenda. Here is what they have both done and are doing in parliament so far:
Laws enacted already
- Budget Responsibility Act 2024
- Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership Act) 2024
Bills in progress
- Great British Energy Bill
- Employment Rights Bill
- Renters’ Rights Bill
- House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill
- Finance Bill
- Tobacco and Vapes Bill
- Data (Use and Access) Bill
- Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill
- Property (Digital Assets etc) Bill
- Armed Forces Commisioner Bill
- Finance Assistance to Ukraine Bill
This list doesn’t look like what the Daily Mail described today as “Government by Talking Shop”.
