• Currently at the 2nd reading in the Lords (Originating House: Lords).
• Would need to pass both Houses and receive royal assent to become law.
• Detailed rules on eligibility, funding and safeguards would be developed in later stages.

Progress

The bill is at the 2nd reading in the Lords and still has several stages to go before it could become law, including passage through the Commons and consideration of detailed provisions.
