National mourning and the Domestic Abuse Bill?

[PicsInRed]

The Domestic Abuse Bill was on the verge of being passed and sent for royal assent. The next sitting, for consideration of Lord's amendments, was previously scheduled for next week.

Does anyone know how the period of national mourning will impact this vital bill? Will the commons still be able to consider amendments, pass and send this on for assent (presumably to be granted at the conclusion of the mourning period)?

The Queen will have 8 days of official mourning. She will not pass any laws during that time.

She'll probably enter her own personal state of mourning. I would imagine the Domestic Abuse Bill will be postponed which is extremely unfortunate but she has lost her beloved husband and therefor that is most important to her. However the Queen is a very strong lady and has always put her duty first so I imagine her personal period of grief will not be long.

Yes, I certainly wouldn't expect royal assent during mourning, the Queen will rightly not be working. It would be so unfortunate if the bill were frozen in parliament though. It's been delayed years by Brexit, then Covid, so it would be terrible if it lost momentum and failed now when it's so close to the end.

At least 30 days
