Type 1 Diabetes Screening (Children) Bill

15 Apr 2026

The 2024-2026 session of Parliament has come to an end so the House of Commons is now prorogued until the next session begins on 13 May 2026. Prorogation is the formal end to the parliamentary year.

This Bill will therefore make no further progress.
