Ten Minute Rule MotionTuesday, 5 May 2026

That leave be given to bring in a Bill under SO No. 23 [details to be provided]

MP proposes a new law (usually symbolic)

Matt Bishop (Labour MP for Forest of Dean) is requesting permission under Standing Order No. 23 to introduce a Private Member's Bill. The specific details of the proposed legislation are not yet provided, so the precise policy content cannot be determined from this procedural notice alone.

This is a procedural motion with no immediate policy impact. The actual significance will depend on the bill's contents once details are provided. Ten Minute Rule Motions allow backbench MPs to introduce Private Members' Bills and generate awareness of their proposals, though most do not progress to law.
