Parliamentary Powers And Limitations

Summary

The Statute Law Revision Act 2007 is within Parliaments powers, not ultra vires. Parliament can amend or repeal laws, including the Bill of Rights 1688, though such actions are rare and politically sensitive. Public consultation is not legally required for legislative changes but is often used for major reforms. Parliament can override common law through statutes. Laws are made through proposal, debate, approval, and Royal Assent. The latest Royal Assent was on 29 October 2023. Royal Assent is a formality and can be given in writing. To contest a speeding offence with variable speed limits, gather evidence, check signage, and seek legal advice.
