Latest news on the Bill

Following agreement by both Houses on the text of the Bill it received Royal Assent on 8 April. The Bill is now an Act of Parliament (law).

Summary of the Bill

This Bill provides Parliamentary authority for funds requested by the Government. It is part of the 'supply procedure', which is how Parliament grants the Government’s requests for resources. 

Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bills are usually passed in March and July each year, but this Bill was introduced earlier due to the General Election. These Bills are sometimes referred to simply as 'Appropriation Bills'. They, together with the Consolidated Fund Bill, provide authorisation from Parliament for the resources sought by the Government. Proceedings on the Bill are formal (ie there is no debate and the Bill goes through 'on the nod'). Once passed, the Bill becomes the Appropriation (No. 2) Act.
