Some of parliament’s most influential MPs have called on the government to prioritise progress with key pieces of legislation that have yet to complete their progress into law – or in some cases even receive a first reading.
In a letter to House of Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg, Liaison Committee chair Sir Bernard Jenkin set out six pieces of legislation seen as a primary concern. Among them is the environment bill, which will address governance gaps following the end of the EU transition period last month.
