How do laws get changed?

Laws in the UK are typically proposed by the government, debated in Parliament, and then, if approved, become official. The changes announced in the story, building on existing laws, show how government ministers can introduce new regulations to update or strengthen current legislation, often in response to societal needs or economic shifts.
