apelike, thank you for the lesson in Parliamentary procedures but I don't need one; Bill?  Legislation? Semantics.  The 'Bill' was introduced to Parliament on 9 March 2021.  As for its contents and what it will mean I suggest you read the Commons Library Research Briefing: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9158/

Semantics are very important when it come to legal matters especially in understanding what certain words or phrases mean in law. Legislation means it is a law or a set of laws passed by parliament and that was what you first stated.  But having said that it could also mean the act of making a new law. But.. you now have changed that to introduced so it seems you have now acknowledged the mistake and agree with me as that is what I put. Unfortunately some seem to believe that when a bill is introduced it then becomes law.

 

As explained though it has many stages to go through which will be scrutinised and possibly amended so it will take time and probably won't even get passed this year so it doesn't really matter when it was introduce for a reading. As for its contents I already have the full text of the proposed bill and have already linked to a brief guide in post #21.
