Narrated by Anthony Quayle The Business of the House About 70 new Acts of Parliament are 'enacted' every year at Westminster after a long and complicated process which starts as a proposal by Government, then drafted as a Bill by civil servants before being presented to Parliament for consideration.
Tonight's programme probes the heart of the machine which makes our laws.
