Illustration for Parliament Act 2025

You need to know that some parts of the law are just for explanation. These parts do not change the meaning of other parts of the law. They include sections like section 4, section 9, section 41, section 58, section 100, section 120, section 161, clause 1 of Schedule 3, clause 1 of Schedule 4, and clause 1 of Schedule 5. You can look at these sections to understand the law better. They help explain what the law means. They do not affect how the law is applied. You can look at the law itself to see what it says. The explanation parts are just guides. They help you understand the law, but they are not part of the law that is applied.
