About Course

Who actually makes the laws we all live by? With Ziggy the inventor owl, follow a bill from an idea to an Act of Parliament: the House of Commons, the House of Lords, “ping-pong” and Royal Assent. Then find out how young people and other citizens can make their voices heard. It supports the Key Stage 3 citizenship programme of study for England.
