Welcome to the May issue of The Tracker, this month shows the list of Bills piling up as we get further into the Parliamentary session:

  • The "Right to Roam (Mobile Phones) Bill" suggests there is a poet with his heart on Kinder Scout somewhere amongst the telecommunications legal draftsmen
  • The Sale of Wine (Measures) Bill has (in the editor’s grateful opinion) fortunately been assigned a long-stop provision date for second reading in late June. Long gaps in the timetable, as regular readers of the Tracker know, is a reliable indication of a Bill’s probable failure
  • The Citizen’s Initiative (Legislation) Bill was introduced on 30 April but its provisional date for second reading on 17 October 2008 reveals the Government’s private thoughts
  • Finally, the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill was granted Royal Assent on 8 May 2008 I hope you find this issue of the Tracker useful, please click here to view the publication as a pdf in a new window.
