The Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill would give ministers powers to fully nationalise British Steel, subject to a public interest test. A European Partnership Bill would include powers to fast-track legislation to deliver new EU agreements. A Regulating for Growth Bill would enable pilot schemes to boost innovation, including defence technology and AI-controlled ships.

Measures include late-payment penalties, leasehold restrictions for new flats, social housing protections, cladding remediation funding, stronger passenger rights enforcement, and a national taxi and private hire vehicle database.
