Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, which bills the Government (a) has and (b) has not withdrawn that it will not be proceeding with that were included in the 2022 Queen’s Speech.

The Government has delivered on many of its 2019 manifesto commitments, and will continue to do so. The 2022 Queen's Speech set out an ambitious legislative programme and so far this session 24 Bills have received Royal Assent.

The House has been informed of three Bills that were announced in the Queen's Speech on 10 May 2022 that have been introduced to Parliament and will no longer make progress:

• Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill (25 May 2023, Official Report 733, columns 494-503);
• Northern Ireland Protocol Bill (27 February 2023, Official Report 728, columns 570-576); and
• Schools Bill (7 December 2022, Education Committee oral evidence: Accountability hearings, HC 58).

The measures in the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill will now be pursued as single measure Bills. We remain fully committed to delivering our manifesto commitments and this approach is now the surest and the quickest way of doing so.

The Government will inform the House of any further changes in the usual way.
