Tracking Legislation

The full text of all Bills currently before the United Kingdom Parliament can be found on the UK Parliament website.

To see which stage a Bill has reached on its passage through Parliament see the "Public Bills before Parliament" list published as part of the House of Commons Weekly Information Bulletin. The Bill index database provides links to the full text of the Bill, the Hansard debate and any proposed amendments.

Bills become Acts once they have passed all stages within both Houses of Parliament and receive Royal Assent. Acts tend to reach this stage in batches depending upon the parliamentary timetable.

Once they have received Royal Assent, Acts are published under the authority of the Queen's Printer simultaneously in print and online. If a Bill has received Royal Assent but has not yet been published you can see the last print of the Bill on the UK Parliament website, but you should be aware that this may differ from the text of the Act as finally approved by Parliament. Exceptionally, where there is a short time between Royal Assent and the coming into force of some or all of a Bill's provisions, an Act may be published online in advance of publication of the print version.
