Passage of the Jewish Naturalisation Act 1753

Widespread opposition led to the Act's repeal in 1754 by the Naturalization of Jews Act 1754.

Due to an enormous outburst of antisemitism and public reaction, the Bill was repealed in the next sitting of Parliament in 1754. The Naturalization of Jews Act 1754 (27 Geo. 2. c. 1) formally reversed the previous legislation.
