What we've written
No story of ours names this bill. We match coverage on the full title only, under both the names a bill has — sibling bills share their subjects, so anything looser would file one bill's coverage under another's name.

How this works
The bill, its stages and its sitting dates come from Parliament's own bills service, read live rather than through our overnight pipeline. The route is ours: Parliament publishes the stages a bill has reached, not the ones it has left, so the ladder above is that record laid against the ordinary passage of a public bill. Procedural motions — programme, money, carry-over — are on the record below but not on the ladder, because a bill does not get closer to law by having its programme motion agreed.
"What we've written" matches our own stories on the bill's full title only. Parliament reuses subjects constantly — two Steel Industry Acts, two House of Lords bills — so a looser match would attribute one bill's coverage to another.
