Parliament Act

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Parliament Act is a stock short title used for legislation relating to the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The Bill for an Act with this short title may have been known as a Parliament Bill during its passage through Parliament (this may not be the case where the short title has been conferred by a later enactment).

Parliament Acts may be a generic name either for legislation bearing that short title or for all legislation which relates to Parliament. It is a term of art (see below).
