BSL Bill Passes Third Reading

Rose-Cooper-Houses-of-Parliment-28th-Jan-2020

This afternoon, the House of Lords passed the Bill on its third and final reading with no amendments. The next step is for the Bill to receive Royal Assent from the Queen, and it will then pass into British law. We expect that to happen by the end of the week.

We’re live from Westminster!

Since we are not able to physically gather together on the 27th of April for the 3rd Reading by House of Lord to (hopefully) celebrate an historical event, we will do a Livestreaming event instead.
