 . ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN LAW MAKING
Government of United Kingdom is very concern about the law
making process in the countries. Steps taken in the law making
by the government of the country are as follows:
 The Discussion to Legislate: For each session of Parliament the
government will have a legislative programme (Joshi, 2020). It
refers to the plan of bills that will ask parliament of the United
Kingdom to consider in the session. Proposal for a bill that is
included in the legislative programme must submit a bid for the
bill to the Parliamentary Business and Legislation. If cabinet
agree to the provisional programme, PBL committee will review
it in the lead up to the beginning of the session.
 Preparation of the bill: If the slit is given o the bill in the
legislative programme than the department will Paparore the bill
team to co-ordinate its creation and passage through parliament.
The team will consist of a bill manager and other officials that
will be working on the bill. Some provisions in the bill may
consideration from the department other than one that is
sponsoring the bill.
 Towards Introduction: A bill cannot be introduced until it
has been specifically cleared for the introduction by a meeting of
PBL committee (Guest and Clinton, 2017).
 Towards Introduction: A bill cannot be introduced
until it has been specifically cleared for the introduction by a
meeting of PBL committee (Guest and Clinton, 2017). Every
bill need to go through the parliament business and
legislation. These committee consider the final draft of the
bill together with the range of other documents. If the PBL
committee is satisfied with the bill than other legal issues in
the bill are resolved.
 Parliamentary Stages: Most of the bills are either begin with
the House of lords or House of Commons. Government
makes decision on the basis of the need to make sure each
House has a balance programme legislation to consider each
session. However, some bills also begins in the Commons
such bill that has aim of imposition of taxation.
 Royal Assent and beyond: the bill that has been passed by
both house once becomes law once and it has been given
Royal assent and signed by the Parliament then it becomes
an act. Most provision in an act will come into operation
within a set period after Royal assent. It gives time for
preparation to the government and the people who are going
to directly affected by the act.

EXAMPLE OF FISHER V BELL
The case is concern with a flick knife displayed in a shop window.
Lord Parker acquitted under the restriction of Offensive Weapons Act,
1959, even though it was exactly the sort of behaviour that Parliament
intended to stop (Latham, 2020). He justified his decision because the
draftsmen knew the legal term invitation to threat but failed to include it.
To respect Parliament's sovereignty he had to infer that they had left it out
on purpose.

Following is the impact of the laws on the local and domestic business in

the contract until it ends
 For example - Appeal against a Court of Appeal
judgment which overturned the ET and EAT decisions

of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation)
Act 1992. Appeal allowed and the decisions of the ET
