The Act received royal assent, the final step required for a parliamentary bill to become law in the United Kingdom.
Royal assent is the final step required for a parliamentary bill to become law. In the United Kingdom, a bill is presented for royal assent after it has passed all the required stages in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords; this describes the general procedure rather than a documented account of this bill's stages. The legacy date of 9 August 1899 is unverified by the supplied passages.
