As for Bill's - Queen's consent would be required on a Bill that interferes with Royal Prerogative powers, because Parliament is trying to set a precedent by trying to steal executive powers it does not have and without her majesty's consent, can stop dead any Bill and debate put forward, it's existence provides the monarch and her government with a tool for blocking debate on certain subjects if bills are tabled by backbench rebels or the opposition.
