Prorogation Act 1867

The Prorogation Act 1867 (30 & 31 Vict. c. 81) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which is still in force in the United Kingdom with amendments.

It was passed to simplify the forms of prorogation during a recess of Parliament. Prorogation is the period from the formal end of a parliamentary session to the opening of the next session. The Act allowed the period of a prorogation to be extended to a day at least 14 days later.
