The Special Public Bill Committee on the Arbitration Bill [HL] has issued a call for evidence on the Bill.
The House of Lords has established a Special Public Bill Committee on the Arbitration Bill [HL]. The long title of the Bill is “Bill to Amend the Arbitration Act 1996”. Special Public Bill Committees are empowered to take written and oral evidence on a Bill before considering it.
The Committee welcomes views on the provisions contained within the Bill, and any other matters that would be considered to be relevant to the subject matter.

The external auditing of local bodies is vital in supporting democratic accountability and providing assurance for local people and their elected representatives. The backlog in the publication of audited accounts of local bodies in England has grown to an unacceptable level.
This consultation seeks views on amending the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 as part of a package of cross-system measures to clear the backlog and put the system on a sustainable footing.
The draft statutory instrument covers the core elements of the proposed amendments to the Regulations.
The Joint Statement, agreed with system partners, provides vital context and explains the cross-system proposals and how the various elements are intended to interact.
