This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.
The Parliament Bill proposes that the Parliamentary Service keeps going. You know the Parliamentary Service was set up under the Parliamentary Service Act 1985 and kept going under the Parliamentary Service Act 2000. The Parliamentary Service is not controlled by the government. The bill also says the Parliamentary Service is separate from the government. You can think of it as its own entity. This means it does not work directly for the Crown. The proposed change aims to keep the Parliamentary Service running as it is now. It will still be separate from the government. This is what the Parliament Bill is proposing to happen with the Parliamentary Service.
