Statute Law (Repeals) Act is a stock short title which is used for acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom whose purpose is to repeal enactments which are no longer of practical utility. These acts are drafted by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission. Statute Law (Repeals) Acts may collectively refer to enactments with this short title. The short title "Statute Law (Repeals) Bill" was proposed, in the Law Commission's first report on statute law revision, for the draft bill contained therein, instead of the more usual short title "Statute Law Revision Bill", because that draft bill had a broader scope than previously enacted bills. Bills prepared by one or both of the Law Commissions to promote the reform of the statute law by the repeal, in accordance with Law Commission recommendations, of certain enactments which (except in so far as their effect is preserved) are no longer of practical utility, whether or not they make other provision in connection with the repeal of those enactments, together with any Law Commission report on any such bill, must be referred to the Joint Committee on Consolidation etc. Bills. Halsbury's Laws of England said that Statute Law (Repeals) Acts are law reform acts.
