How does a bill become a law in the UK?

A bill becomes a law once it is given royal assent by the Queen, and it has to be passed through a number of steps in order to do this. The UK government has two legislative chambers, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. By following this format of 12CR3 it is easy to remember. 1st reading, 2nd reading, Committe Stage, Report Stage and 3rd reading all have to be passed by both chambers in order for the Queen to be able to give it her royal assent. 

Once these details are learned, the Green Paper and White Paper stages can be added to further boost your marks in exams.
