Notes

1. Royal Assent was initially given on 9 September 2019 and signified during the prorogation ceremony that evening. However, as that Royal Assent was given in the same Letters Patent ordering the prorogation ^[4] that were then quashed by the Supreme Court when it ruled the prorogation unlawful, ^[5] Royal Assent had to be given again under the terms of the Royal Assent Act 1967. ^[6] Royal Assent was subsequently given during the prorogation ceremony on 8 October. ^[7]
