A Bill to make provision for the House of Commons to nominate the Prime Minister and approve appointments to the Cabinet; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
12 February 2025
If enacted, this bill would require the House of Commons to nominate the Prime Minister and to approve appointments to the Cabinet. It would formalise a parliamentary process for selecting the top levels of government, moving aspects of the appointment process away from the Prime Minister and the monarch and into Parliament. In short, Parliament would have a direct role in who forms the government and who serves in it.
