TheRoyal Assent Act 1967 (c. 23) is anact of theParliament of the United Kingdom that amends the law relating to the signification ofroyal assent to allow laws from theParliament of the United Kingdom to be enacted through the pronunciation and notification of bothHouses of Parliament, and repeals theRoyal Assent by Commission Act 1541 (33 Hen. 8. c. 21).[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 theScottish Parliament,Welsh Parliament or theNorthern Ireland Assembly (nor its predecessor theNorthern Ireland Parliament which did exist at the time the Act was passed) since the establishment ofdevolution.
Nothing in the Royal Assent Act 1967 affects the power of the monarch to signify their royal assent in person in theHouse of Lords.Queen Victoria was the last sovereign to do so in 1854.[2]
