What is types of Bill?Show answer
A Bill is a draft Act. Public Bills affect the whole country and most are Government Bills introduced by ministers; they make up the bulk of legislation. Private Members' Bills are introduced by back-bench MPs (through the ballot, the ten-minute rule or presentation) and rarely become law without government support, though some important reforms (for example the Abortion Act 1967) began this way. Private Bills affect a particular organisation or locality.
