According to the Telegraph link I posted earlier:

"As the Bill originated with the House of Lords, it will now go back
to the Lords for final approval – which it is expected to get as this
procedure is a largely viewed as a formality. After this stage the
Bill will have completed all of its parliamentary processes and is
expected to receive Royal Assent before passing into law."

So it's not yet law, but only formalities remain.
