PARLIAMENT ACT 1911 - SECT 1

Powers of House of Lords as to Money Bills.

1.(1) If a Money Bill, having been passed by the House of Commons, and sent up
to the House of Lords at least one month before the end of the session, is not
passed by the House of Lords without amendment within one month after it is so
sent up to that House, the Bill shall, unless the House of Commons direct to
the contrary, be presented to His Majesty and become an Act of Parliament on
the Royal Assent being signified, notwithstanding that the House of Lords have
not consented to the Bill.

(2) A Money Bill means a Public Bill which in the opinion of the Speaker of
the House of Commons contains only provisions dealing with all or any of the
following subjects, namely, the imposition, repeal, remission, alteration, or
regulation of taxation; the imposition for the payment of debt or other
financial purposes of charges on the Consolidated Fund, [the National Loans
Fund] or on money provided by Parliament, or the variation or repeal of any
such charges; supply; the appropriation, receipt, custody, issue or audit of
accounts of public money; the raising or guarantee of any loan or the
repayment thereof; or subordinate matters incidental to those subjects or any
of them. In this subsection the expressions "taxation," "public money," and
"loan" respectively do not include any taxation, money, or loan raised by
local authorities or bodies for local purposes.

(3) There shall be endorsed on every Money Bill when it is sent up to the
House of Lords and when it is presented to His Majesty for assent the
certificate of the Speaker of the House of Commons signed by him that it is a
Money Bill. Before giving his certificate, the Speaker shall consult, if
practicable, two members to be appointed from the Chairmen's Panel at the
beginning of each Session by the Committee of Selection.
