Abstract
In all kinds of collecting—coins, banknotes, postage stamps, and the like—it is always the mistakes and irregularities that are of particular interest and consequently greater value. The position is the same for collectors of items of statutory interest: for which reason, the Parliamentary Buildings (Restoration and Renewal) Act 2019 will always be notable, as the Act that was so good they gave it Royal Assent twice. The Bill for this Act was originally given Royal Assent in the Royal Commission purporting to prorogue the Parliamentary Session 2017–2019 on 9 September 2019. That purported prorogation was declared void by the Supreme Court on 24 September 2019 in Miller v Prime Minister,1 as a result of which the instrument was treated as reverting to the status of a Bill awaiting Royal Assent. Parliament was then prorogued by a new Commission on 8 October 2019, in the course of which Royal Assent was given to the Bill for this Act again (and one other).
