Legislative process - Coggle Diagram

- - - - MPs can apply to have a members bill considered
      - 20 names are chosen randomly
      - The name chosen last gets top priority for the debating order
        
        This means that anyone chosen first will have their bill debated last- or not at all if the session runs out of time debating other bills
    - - MPs enter a weekly ballot where, if selected they get 10 minutes to outlign their proposed bill after question time.
      - These Bills rarely receive royal assent- they are often only proposed to raise awareness of an issue.
    - - The Bill is proposed to parliament, but the minister is not allowed to speak about it
      - Therefore, these bills rarely go anywhere
- - - - First reading- no debate
        
        Second Reading
