Rishi Sunak’s promise for a secure future in the UK is in jeopardy as several key laws, including those for terror prevention and renters' rights, might not pass before the election. 'Martyn's Law,' aimed at enhancing security, and the much-discussed renters reform bill, are among the pending legislations. The anticipated smoking ban and leasehold reform are also at risk.
Rishi Sunak’s promise to ensure a secure and stable future for the UK hangs in the balance as several significant laws, such as those targeting terror prevention, dangerous cycling incidents, and no-fault evictions, might not be introduced to parliament before the election.
Among the pending legislation are 'Martyn's Law', named after Manchester bombing victim Martyn Hett, and the renters reform bill, which seeks to end no-fault evictions and improve tenants' rights.
The much-vaunted smoking ban and the leasehold reform bill aimed at protecting property owners are also at risk.
Additionally, the proposed anti-SLAPPs bill designed to protect journalists from intimidating lawsuits might be discarded.
Some legislation, such as the victims and prisoners bill and the media bill increasing protections for UK broadcasters, has successfully passed.
