This is alist of acts of the Parliament of England for the year 1554.
For acts passed during the period 1707–1800, see thelist of acts of the Parliament of Great Britain. See also thelist of acts of the Parliament of Scotland, and thelist of acts of the Parliament of Ireland.
For acts passed from 1801 onwards, see thelist of acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. For acts of the devolved parliaments and assemblies in the United Kingdom, see thelist of acts of the Scottish Parliament, thelist of acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly, and thelist of acts and measures of Senedd Cymru; see also thelist of acts of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.
For medieval statutes, etc. that are not considered to be acts of Parliament, see thelist of English statutes.
See also theList of ordinances and acts of the Parliament of England, 1642–1660 for ordinances and acts passed by theLong Parliament and other bodies withoutroyal assent, and which were not considered to be valid legislation following theRestoration in 1660.
The number shown after each act's title is its chapter number. Acts are cited using this number, preceded by the years of the reign during which the relevantparliamentary session was held; thus theUnion with Ireland Act 1800 is cited as "39 & 40 Geo. 3. c. 67", meaning the 67th act passed during the session that started in the 39th year of the reign of George III and which finished in the 40th year of that reign. Note that the modern convention is to useArabic numerals in citations (thus "41 Geo. 3" rather than "41 Geo. III"). Acts of the last session of the Parliament of Great Britain and the first session of the Parliament of the United Kingdom are both cited as "41 Geo. 3".
Acts passed by the Parliament of England did not have ashort title; however, some of these acts have subsequently been given a short title by acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (such as theShort Titles Act 1896).
Acts passed by the Parliament of England were deemed to have come into effect on the first day of the session in which they were passed. Because of this, the years given in the list below may in fact be the year before a particular act was passed.
The2nd Parliament of Queen Mary I, which met from 2 April 1554 until 5 May 1554.
