An Act with this short title may have been known as a Parliament Bill during its passage through Parliament (this may not be the case where the short title has been conferred by a later enactment).

Parliament Acts may be a generic name either for legislation bearing that short title or for all legislation which relates to Parliament. It is a term of art (see below).
