Primary legislation – how it works, and how to work with it

This will look at the government’s likely future legislative programme; the process for bills being developed and going through Parliament; and how industry may feed into the process.  The session will be held at a point when the House of Commons is focused on domestic legislation, and will look at live Bills which are likely to affect the asset management industry.

KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Understand how legislation is made in Whitehall, the House of Commons and the House of Lords
• Learn how, and when, legislation can be influenced
• Look ahead to future legislation relevant to asset management

• Government Affairs teams, including those new to the function
