Special Features
There is a pair of penciled Xs on either side of the King's approval.
This submission refers to a "Commission" even though, strictly speaking, that term only applies when the Monarch empowers a group of Privy Counsellors to declare Royal Assent on their behalf in the House of Lords.
This instrument using the gender-neutral pronoun "they" instead of a gendered pronoun when referring to the Lord Chancellor.
At one time, these submissions included a definite article before "Royal Assent" (e.g., this example from 1919), but it must have been dropped at some point since it no longer appears in modern versions.
