Several pieces of legislation will now return to Parliament after the Supreme Court ruled that the prorogation was unlawful.
’s ill-fated decision to prorogue Parliament meant bills working their way through the system were stopped in their tracks.
One of the most high-profile bills to face the axe was the Domestic Abuse Bill which has been attempting to make its way through the House of Commons since 2017. It is also set to end the current practice of allowing domestic abusers the opportunity to cross-examine their victims in court. The bill was drawn up by David Gauke, the former justice secretary who lost the Tory whip after voting against Mr Johnson in a bid to stop a no-deal Brexit.The Animal Welfare Bill had also been under threat but has now been given a lifeline.A piece of legislation that would have added two questions to the census was also working its way through Parliament when it was suspended on September 9.
