How does a Bill become law?

Have a look at this guide to the legislative process for a really good explanation of how a Bill becomes law.

Note that all Acts of Parliament do not become law until they receive the Royal Assent - in other words until the Queen (or one of her representatives) signs off on it
A really good site for all things legislative is http://www.parliament.uk/ - can you find an example of an Act that is currently making its way through Parliament?
