In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

Discusses the procedures that are followed when Bills introduced into the Westminster Parliament and Orders in Council are ready for Royal assent, including: (1) why Royal assent is required for new legislation; (2) how the Sovereign's assent may be expressed and communicated to Parliament; (3) the implications of a mistake being made in the Royal assent process; (4) what text constitutes the original or master copy of an Act; (5) how Royal assent may be given in the event of the Sovereign's absence or incapacity; (6) how it may be refused; and (7) how the process might be simplified.
