The 2008/09 draft legislative programme - Preparing Britain for the Future - has been published as a green paper today by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Now the people of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are being asked to make their voices heard on whether these are the right issues on which the Government should focus its efforts.
Rosie Winterton will be consulting with interested parties from the business community, local government, third sector and wider public from now until 6 August 2008.
The final programme of legislation for the 2008-09 Session will be published in the Queen's Speech at the State Opening of Parliament towards the end of this year.
