Question to the Leader of the House:
To ask the Leader of the House, what the average number of clauses in government bills that received Royal Assent was in the last five sessions.
In the last five sessions, the following number of Government Bills reached Royal Assent:
Session | Number of Bills reaching Royal Assent |
---|---|
2021-22 | 34 |
2019-21 | 44 |
2019 | 3 |
2017-19 | 51 |
2016-17 | 32 |
The average number of clauses in Government Bills that received Royal Assent in that period is not held centrally. To provide this information would therefore incur disproportionate cost.
