Business of the House (Private Members’ Bills)

Sir Alan Campbell is tabling a motion on the business of the House relating to Private Members' Bills — the backbench legislation slot. This is a procedural item governing how and when non-government bills get debated in the Commons. The motion likely addresses scheduling, time allocation, or the framework for private members to introduce legislation.

This is primarily procedural and affects the functioning of Parliament rather than direct policy outcomes. It determines whether backbench MPs can bring forward their own legislative priorities and how much Commons time is available for non-government business. It is relevant to democratic accountability and the balance of power between the executive and backbenches.
