– in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 4 June 1964.
Resolution reported,That, for the purposes of any Act of the present Session to repeal the remaining Defence Regulations (that is to say the Defence Regulations set out in the Emergency Laws (Repeal) Act 1959), and to re-enact certain of those Defence Regulations with modifications, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of moneys provided by Parliament of any expenses incurred by any government department which are attributable to the provisions of the Act.
Laws are the rules by which a country is governed. Britain has a long history of law making and the laws of this country can be divided into three types:- 1) Statute Laws are the laws that have been made by Parliament. 2) Case Law is law that has been established from cases tried in the courts - the laws arise from test cases. The result of the test case creates a precedent on which future cases are judged. 3) Common Law is a part of English Law, which has not come from Parliament. It consists of rules of law which have developed from customs or judgements made in courts over hundreds of years. For example until 1861 Parliament had never passed a law saying that murder was an offence. From the earliest times courts had judged that murder was a crime so there was no need to make a law.
