How laws are made
Study note
A proposed new law is called a bill. To become law, a bill must be debated and approved by both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and then receive Royal Assent from the monarch, after which it becomes an Act of Parliament.
Memory tip: Bill -> Commons -> Lords -> Royal Assent -> Act of Parliament.
