Margaret Thatcher Day Bill

Key Points

• Renames the late August Bank Holiday Monday to 'Margaret Thatcher Day'.
• No change to the date or length of the holiday; just the name.
• Does not establish a new public holiday—only a naming change.
• Requires passage through the Commons (and ultimately the Lords) to become law.
• Originates in the House of Commons and is at the 2nd reading stage.

Progress

The bill is at the second reading in the Commons. If it progresses, it would move on to further stages before becoming law.
