	Act of Parliament - LoveToKnow 1911
		An act of parliament may be regarded as a declaration of the legislature, enforcing certain rules of conduct, or defining rights and conferring them upon or withholding them from certain persons or classes of persons.
		It is not, however, till the earlier half of the 13th century that, in a more limited constitutional sense, the statute-book is generally held to open, and the parliamentary records only begin to assume distinct outlines late in the reign of Edward I.
		Originally the collective acts of each session formed but one statute, to which a general title was attached, and for this reason an act of parliament was up to 1892 generally cited as the chapter of a particular statute, e.g.

		But while accepting every Act of Parliament as the highest law, they refined their modes of interpretation so that these Acts could often be given a meaning that they projectors had not intended; and they brought the increasing volume of secondary legislation within the scope of judicial review.
		The purpose of the 1911 Act was to establish a new constitutional settlement that limited the period during which the Lords could delay the enactment of legislation first introduced to the Commons but which preserved the role of the Lords in the legislative processes.
		The preamble of the 1911 Act indicates that the 1911 Act was to be a transitional provision pending further reform.

		The Act was a reaction to the clash between the Liberal government and the House of Lords, culminating in the so-called "People's Budget" of the Chancellor of the Exchequer David Lloyd George in 1909, which proposed the introduction of a land tax based on the ideas of the American tax reformer Henry George.

		Since the 1949 Act was passed, doubts have been raised by legal academics as to whether the use of the 1911 Act to pass the 1949 Act, amending the 1911 Act itself, was valid.

	UK Politics - Glossary - P
		The Parliament Act of 1911 was an Act introduced by the Liberal Party which reformed Parliament, and the House of Lords in particular, in a number of ways.
		The progress of the Act through Parliament was a difficult one because the House of Lords were opposed to anything that reduced their powers, yet, in order for the proposals to become law the House of Lords had to agree to them.
		Parliament therefore requires that the information that a Bill is to be promoted should be given by public advertisements in newspapers, the official gazettes and in writing to all those likely to be affected by a Bill.

		The Parliament Act of 1911 reaffirmed the supremacy of the House of Commons over the House of Lords.
		Doubts have long been expressed about the validity of the 1949 legislation because the 1911 act was used to force its successor on to the statute book; unlike the 1911 act, the later version was never agreed by the Lords.
		The 1911 act was used to push through the Government of Ireland Act 1914, the Welsh Church Act 1914 and, of course, the Parliament Act 1949.

		The Parliament Act has been used when legislation is of high or constitutional importance, when there is genuine urgency and when the other place is clearly unreasonably blocking the will of the elected House.
		The Parliament Acts provide that a Bill sent from this House must take the same form, but this will be the first time that a Bill has been so different from the one that was originally presented that the necessary detailed provisions have not been properly debated.
		The root principle of the Parliament Act is that every amendment which makes for agreement, and for a change in a Bill which tends to lessen disagreement, can be incorporated in the Bill without depriving it of the advantages of the.

		Throughout the C20th in Britain, constitutional reform was patchy at best and delayed by the 'Establishment' as any changes brought in had to undermine the position held by the 'Establishment'.
		Historians argue that the last great pieces of constitutional reform were the 1911 Parliament Act which went some way to decreasing the power of the House of Lords and the 1918 Representation of the People Act which nearly trebled the electorate and allowed women over the age of 30 the right to vote.
