This is followed by the Bill number (or Bill numbers if it has been reprinted as amended, with the original first and the latest reprinting last). Then follow the dates of the various stages (eg 8.11 - 8 November).

Stages in italics preceded by the letter P refer to provisional dates, see legislation - General Notes.
