Members’ bills are bills introduced by Members who are not Ministers. Every second Wednesday the House gives precedence
to Local, Private, and Members’ bills. On these days Members’ bills are debated.
A minimum of eight Members’ bills awaiting first reading should be on the Order Paper on each Members’ day. When a space
on the Order Paper becomes available, a ballot is held to decide which Member's bill will be introduced. Members enter
bills in the ballot by lodging notices of proposal for their bills.
