UK Bills on Westlaw

The Bills service on Westlaw UK has recently been improved. If you're interested in a piece of legislation currently going through Parliament then you may find the Bills Service of interest.
It contains information on Bills from the current session as well as for 2015-16 and can be found via the Legislation tab under Browse.

• Via the Overview document it is possible to follow the progress of a Bill, and see whereabouts it is in its passage through Parliament.
• As well as providing the current text, within Overview it is possible to see the text of the Bill as it stood at various points of its passage through Parliament.
• If the Bill has received Royal Assent, a link through to the relevant Act is provided.

Additionally, for current legislation, you can access a version of a provision which allows you to see how the law will read if a Bill receives Royal Assent. See below for an example section.

Clicking on the blue link brings up the Bill amended text (in this case the amending Bill is the Higher Education and Research Bill 2016-17).
