Arms Bill

"When the new arms law starts"

Illustration for Arms Bill

This proposed law will start on a date decided by the government. You will know when it starts because it will be announced. If some parts of the law have not started after 12 months, they will start then. You can find out more about how the government announces these dates in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. The government will make an official decision to start this law, which is a type of secondary legislation. This decision will be made public so you can find out about it.
