It places flood considerations at an early stage of road design and approval. The Bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons and has yet to proceed to later stages.
The Bill is in the early stages of passage, currently at the Commons' 2nd reading; it would need to pass through further stages (committee, report, third reading) and then the Lords before becoming law.
