There are three methods by which a Member of Parliament can introduce a Private Members' bill: by ballot, by the Ten Minute Rule, and by presentation.[ 1]
2024 Private Members Bill Ballot being drawn
Under this method Members who apply are drawn from a ballot and, if successful, are given parliamentary time for their bill. Members of Parliament who are successful in the ballot often have a higher chance of seeing their legislation passed, as greater parliamentary time is given to ballots than other methods of passing a PMB such as under the Ten Minute Rule. It is normal for the first seven ballot bills to get one day's debate each.[ 1]
Members drawn in the ballot for 2025-26 were:[ 3]
Sir Desmond Swayne , New Forest West (Conservative)
Lauren Edwards, Rochester and Strood (Labour)
Mike Wood, Kingswinford and South Staffordshire (Conservative)
Andrew George, St Ives (Liberal Democrat)
Dr Luke Evans, Hinckley and Bosworth (Conservative)
Sir John Whittingdale , Molden (Conservative)
Jessica Toale , Bournemouth West (Labour)
Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst , Solihull West and Shirley (Conservative)
Gareth Snell , Stoke-on-Trent Central (Labour)
Lincoln Jopp , Spelthorne (Conservative)
Patricia Ferguson, Glasgow West (Labour)
Robert Jenrick , Newark (Reform UK)
Damian Hinds , East Hampshire (Conservative)
Alistair Strathern , Hitchin (Labour)
Clive Jones , Wokingham (Liberal Democrat)
Victoria Atkins, Louth and Horncastle (Conservative)
Munira Wilson , Twickenham (Liberal Democrat)
Steff Aquarone , North Norfolk (Liberal Democrat)
Mr Paul Foster, South Ribble (Labour)
David Pinto-Duschinsky , Hendon (Labour)
The Ten Minute Rule is a method of introducing a PMB after a brief debate. A member speaks for up to ten minutes on a motion under Standing Order 23 to introduce a bill, followed potentially by an opposing member's ten minute speech. If the motion is passed, the bill is introduced and given a formal first reading; it is unlikely to make further progress because it will not be given priority on the parliamentary calendar. The Ten Minute Rule can be used to generate publicity for a particular issue. Often they are used merely as an opportunity to criticise legislation rather than pass a bill.[ 1]
Under section 57 of the Standing Orders , any Member of Parliament may introduce a PMB if they have previously given an indication that they intend to do so. Members then formally introduce the bill but do not speak to support it. It is rare for a PMB to succeed by this method.[ 4] [ 2]
The second reading and subsequent readings of Private Members' bills take place on a sitting Friday. The sitting times for debate are 9.30am until 2.30pm; the debates for each bill must be concluded before 2.30pm in order to progress to the next stage of the bill passage. If the debate has not concluded before the time has run out, it will be moved to the bottom of the list of bills to be read and rescheduled for another time. For any sitting Friday there can be as many as 50 bills scheduled for debate on the order paper , however due to the short amount of time allotted to Friday sittings, Parliament has never progressed further than the fourth bill listed on the order of business for the day.
The current system of Private Members' bills has been criticised for being easily susceptible to filibustering . Kerry McCarthy , a Labour MP , has compared the system to the BBC radio game show Just a Minute but in reverse, stating that the more hesitation, deviation and repetition an MP makes the more likely they are to defeat a bill.[ 5] As private members' bills are debated on Fridays , attendance in debates is often poor because many Members of Parliament will have returned to their constituencies.
The low number of private members' bills passed has resulted in calls for reform of the PMB system. The Hansard Society has produced reform proposals in a pamphlet called 'Enhancing the Role of Backbench MPs'. The pamphlet calls for greater resourcing of PMBs and changes to the times when private members' bills are debated.[ 6]
