The
Royal Assent Act 1967
(c. 23) is an
act
of the
Parliament of the United Kingdom
that amends the law relating to the signification of
royal assent
to allow laws from the
Parliament of the United Kingdom
to be enacted through the pronunciation and notification of both
Houses of Parliament
, and repeals the
Royal Assent by Commission Act 1541
.
[1]
It received royal assent on 10 May 1967.
The act does not apply to the royal assent of any legislation that is and has been passed by the
Scottish Parliament
,
Welsh Parliament
or the
Northern Ireland Assembly
(nor its predecessor the
Northern Ireland Parliament
which did exist at the time the Act was passed) since the establishment of
devolution
.
Nothing in the Royal Assent Act 1967 affects the power of the monarch to signify their royal assent in person in the
House of Lords
.
Queen Victoria
was the last sovereign to do so in 1854.
