Duration of English, British and United Kingdom Parliaments from 1660

This article augments the lists of Parliaments to be found elsewhere (see links below) with additional information which could not be conveniently incorporated in them.

The No. column in this table counts backwards from the Parliament elected in 2005. This is not the conventional way of numbering Parliaments. The NP number is the number counting forward from the creation of the United Kingdom in 1801, Great Britain 1707-1800 and the accession of particular monarchs of England before 1707.

The duration column is calculated from the date of the first meeting of the Parliament, to that of dissolution, using a year-month-day format.
