    I'm pretty sure it was enacted, yes. It is the Act that abolished hereditary peers.
    Gone ... or have I?

    It was re-enacted in 2002 at the Lyric Theatre by a small amateur dramatics society.
  • The fact that is is the House of Lords ACT would suggest it has been enacted! ;)

    Legislation takes the form of a Bill before it becomes an Act of Parliament.

    By the way, if you haven't already discovered it, take a look at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org

    You should never ever use sources such as Wikipedia for matters of law. Anyone can post anything on Wikipedia which makes it a very unreliable source especially on matters of law were it's likely to be outdated anyway.

    You should use sourced such as LexisNexis or Westlaw.

    In response to your question yes it was enacted by the queen.
