Background
In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed. Many acts of parliament, however, contained time-limited sunset clauses, requiring legislation to revive enactments that had expired or to continue enactments that would otherwise expire.
Provisions
Continued enactments
Section 1 of the act continued the Vagabonds Act 1530 (22 Hen. 8. c. 12), the Exportation Act 1530 (22 Hen. 8. c. 7), the Assaults by Welshmen Act 1534 (26 Hen. 8. c. 11) and the Buggery Act 1533 (25 Hen. 8. c. 6) until the end of the next parliament.
Subsequent developments
The Select Committee on Temporary Laws, Expired or Expiring, appointed in 1796, inspected and considered all temporary laws, observing irregularities in the construction of expiring laws continuance acts, making recommendations and emphasising the importance of the Committee for Expired and Expiring Laws.
The whole act was repealed by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1863 (26 & 27 Vict. c. 125).
