About this Item

PARLIAMENTARY BILLS relating to THE BANK OF ENGLAND, BANK OF IRELAND, BANKERS AND BANKS. A collection of approximately 50 Parliamentary Bills relating to legislation concerning banking, including several on the Resumption of Payments in Cash by the Bank of England, and others on Bank Note Forgery prevention, 257pp folio, near contemporary buckram, fine copy, London, House of Commons, 1801 - 1826. A Parliamentary Bill is a proposal for a new law, or a proposal to change an existing law that is presented for debate before Parliament. Bills are introduced in either the House of Commons or House of Lords for examination, discussion and amendment. When both Houses have agreed on the content of a Bill it is then presented to the reigning monarch for approval (known as Royal Assent). Once Royal Assent is given a Bill becomes an Act of Parliament and is law. Bills are significant because they are often the first indication of political and legislative changes. They are ephemeral; few copies survive.
