CATEGORY B2: FASTS
The Statute Law Revision Programme considers the instruments in this category to be suitable for revocation.
This category consists of proclamations mandating fasts for particular purposes in England and Ireland or the whole of the then-United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The instruments were made pursuant to prerogative authority.
The Statute Law Revision Programme consulted with the Representative Body of the Church of Ireland on the instruments in this category. The Representative Body agreed that all instruments were suitable for revocation.
Please note that spellings are recorded as they appear in the original print versions of the London Gazette and have not been standardised or modernised. The wording of the subject matter of instruments is not final and is subject to change.
