Peter Aldous’ private member’s bill had been due to be heard today

The second reading of a private member’s bill looking to overhaul retentions practices in the construction industry has been pushed back to March.

Tory MP Peter Aldous’, Construction (Retention Deposit Schemes) Bill 2017-19, has been repeatedly delayed since its first reading last January.

The bill was due to have its second reading in the House of Commons today (25 January), but MPs are now not scheduled to sit, meaning it has now been pushed to 8 March.
