There are still many Acts in force that were passed by the parliaments of the independent countries that co-existed in the British Isles before the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was formed in 1801. These are Acts that were passed by:
the English Parliament (which encompassed Wales) from 1267 to 1706
the Scottish Parliament from 1424 to 1707
the Parliament of Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) from 1707 to 1800
the Irish Parliament from 1495 to 1800.
These are all held on SLD and revised.

Northern Ireland Variations Pre-1921 Acts of the UK Parliament and its predecessor parliaments (including the old Irish Parliament) that now extend only to Northern Ireland are not yet held on SLD. These Acts were contained in volumes A to D of The Northern Ireland Statutes Revised, the content of which will be incorporated into SLD as soon as possible. Also, until this exercise is complete, those pre-1921 Acts extending to Northern Ireland that are held on SLD will not necessarily appear in the form in which they have effect in Northern Ireland. An ‘Editorial Information’ annotation has been inserted at the Long Title level of relevant Acts. |
