Logjam may force concessions on UK policing and borders bills

Government has already decided to give ground on elections bill in an attempt to make it law before Commons is prorogued

Ministers may be forced to make significant concessions on a string of flagship government bills to get them through the current session of parliament, it has emerged, amid an increasingly tight legislative logjam.

The government has already written to peers saying it will give ground on a key part of its controversial elections bill before it is scrutinised by the House of Lords, in an attempt to get it into law before the Commons is prorogued, expected to happen later this month.
