Bills that completed their passage and received Royal Assent. The law they made is on the law comparison where it is one of the practices this site tracks, and in the timeline.
Bills introduced in a session that has since ended. The stage shown is the last one each bill reached, and the date is when parliament last updated its record — this page does not say what became of them beyond that.
The Bills API searches the whole bill record, so the sweep asks 14 broad terms and then keeps only the bills whose short title mentions one of the 86 animal subjects the site watches — the same list the petitions page uses, so a subject added for one applies to the other.
animal · welfare · dog · cat · wildlife · hunting · livestock · pet · zoo · fur · horse · bird · veterinary · fisheries
It does not say whether a bill should pass, predict whether it will, or name who voted which way. The Bills API publishes each bill’s sponsors; this site does not record them. Sponsors are listed on the bill’s own page at parliament, and individual voting records are on TheyWorkForYou.
