The parliamentary picture

Status first, procedure second

Each card separates the Bill's parliamentary status from its latest recorded event. The full House-by-House evidence sits one click deeper.

  1. 01 Introduced only 1 of 13 Bills

Behind this picture are 67 dated parliamentary records. 8 duplicate tracker rows were absorbed into the exact House + number + year records shown here.

When these Bills actually moved. Each column counts the dated steps Parliament recorded that year, stacked by stage — so a tall column is a busy year, not a year with more Bills in it.

How Bills are identified and duplicates handled

These 13 Bills are grouped on the House's own numbering — bill number, year and House — never on title, because titles repeat. Where Parliament's tracker holds several captures of the same Bill, their stage records are merged and the duplicate count remains visible on the card.
