because of illegal party held during
coronavirus lockdowns
What happened?

after a relative of his tested

Consequences

for damaging the Conservative
Party's credibility and demanded
his resignation.
- Because of Johnson's dropping
approval rating, the governing
Conservative Party falling far
behind Labour Party in opinion
polls
- P.M had to pay fines related to
this incident to more than 50 items
Prime Minister Johnson had to make an
apology speech to Parliament at about 14:30
on April 19, 2021. And a vote was held on April
21,2021 on whether he should face investigation
from the House Task Force

17. P.M’s wish
04

19. How a bill becomes a law:
The process for a new law to be enacted takes at least five stages in each
house. It starts in the House of Commons and is similar to the House of Lords. If the
House of Lords wants to make new amendments, the process goes back to the House
of Commons. Once a bill has been agreed by both Houses, it will receive a Royal
Assent.
It’s time-consuming. In stead, if the House of Commons and House of Lords
can sit together and negotiate to make a decision, then complete it to receive royal
assent. This will save time, especially in serious time like Covid-19 pandemic
