Notices for Intended Private Bills — Standing Order 130

Summary#

This House of Commons notice (published December 21, 2024) points readers to Standing Order 130, which deals with notices of intended applications for private bills and was previously published on November 20, 2021. It lists the office to contact for more information: the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons.

What it does#

• Reminds readers about Standing Order 130 on notices for intended private-bill applications.
• Refers back to the earlier publication of that standing order on November 20, 2021.
• Gives contact information for further details: the Private Members’ Business Office, House of Commons, West Block, Room 314‑C, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6, phone 613‑992‑9511.
• Is signed or noted by Charles Robert, Clerk of the House of Commons (name shown in the notice).

Who's affected#

• Members of Parliament and private members who want to introduce or support a private bill.
• Organizations, municipalities or individuals who seek private legislation through Parliament.
• The wider public only indirectly — this is about parliamentary procedure rather than a policy change.

Why it matters#

• If you plan to apply for a private bill, this tells you which rule governs notices and where to get more information.
• The notice itself is routine: it does not announce a new law or a change in policy, but points to the existing standing order and a contact office.
• The item in the Gazette is primarily administrative; it helps applicants follow the correct parliamentary steps.
