This instrument using the gender-neutral pronoun "they" instead of a gendered pronoun when referring to the Lord Chancellor.
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.
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.
Two of the Bills in the list of titles have been reordered via red ink arrows.
