The key bills that hang in the balance as parliament’s ‘wash-up’ period gets under way

Some of the bills that have been debated in parliament may not make it into law now Rishi Sunak has called a general election.

Rishi Sunak’s decision to call a general election has kickstarted what is known as the “wash-up” period – the term used to describe the final days before parliament is formally dissolved.

It means the government will now try to progress any outstanding legislation with the aim of making it law before parliament is prorogued, and the current parliamentary session comes to an end, on Friday.

However, with such a limited timeframe, it is expected that a number of bills that have defined this parliamentary session are likely to fall by the wayside.
