Talk:Occasional Conformity Act 1711

Date of repeal seems to be wrong
I think that this Act was repealed by the Promissory Oaths Act 1871 (c.48). It is listed in Part 1 (Acts wholly repealed of Schedule 1 to that Act (as the text of the Act appears in the Statutes at Large) and the Chronological Table of the Statutes (HMSO) does not mention a repeal in 1719 or any other repeal.

I also think the long title is not quoted in full. —Preceding unsigned comment added by James500 (talk • contribs) 14:40, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

The Act outlawed the practice of occasional conformity. What provisions did it enact that accomplished this? J S Ayer (talk) 02:49, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * as I read the law: It applied to any national or local official in England or Wales who was required to attend Church of England services and take the Lord's Supper.  If such a person attended "any coventicle, assembly or meeting" of any other religion, they would be subject to a penalty of £40 and permanently barred from government employment.
