You are right though. It was named a Bill, now it is named an Act :-) https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/publications/bills-acts/

Because it opens them up to obscene liability if they don't have enforcement and age verifications well outside the range of what anyone who isn't a massive business is capable of implementing.
