Have your say: laws and debates

Members of Parliament often want to know how specific issues have affected the public. We bring your stories into Parliament, and enable Members to give you a voice during their debates.

There are several ways to have your say on legislation. These include contacting a member of the Lords and submitting evidence to a Public Bill Committee in the Commons.

Private bills are proposed laws that only apply to certain individuals or organisations. You can petition against a private bill if you are specifically and directly affected by it.
