The HS2 Hybrid Bill was deposited to Parliament on 25 November 2013 – the High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Bill.
When both Houses have agreed on the content of a Bill it is presented to the reigning UK monarch for approval, known as Royal Assent. Once Royal Assent is given a Bill becomes an Act of Parliament and is law.
