Dealing with every stage and all forms of law-making, it looks at:

The 9th edition of The Law-Making Process has been updated to include the latest information and commentary about government action, case law, legislation, official reports, and a great range of legal and political journals. It provides extensive coverage of the law-making process post-Brexit and analysis of the changing character of the Supreme Court.
