Looking forward to what should be a very informative primer/refresher on how to engage with Bills and how legislation makes its way through Parliament with Liam Laurence Smyth, Clerk of Legislation in the @HouseofCommons #DeHavillandEvent
Smyth welcomes the timing of the event, taking place between the #QueensSpeech and the ballot for #PrivateMembersBills. Notes that while the contents of the Queen's Speech will "probably" become law, Private Members Bills rarely do #DeHavDiscusses
Smyth then discusses the origins of Bills, Smyth agrees that controversial Bills "usually" originate in the House of Commons, rather than the House of Lords #DeHavDiscusses
