All bills that have reached Royal Assent are eligible for post-legislative scrutiny three to five years after they are enacted.

The Trade (Disclosure of Information) Act 2020 was repealed by the Trade Act 2021 and is no longer in force.

There is no planned timetable for post legislative scrutiny of the other bills mentioned in the question.
