Short Title
In certain jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and other Westminster-influenced jurisdictions (such as Canada or Australia), as well as the United States and the Philippines, primary legislation has both a short title and a long title. The long title (properly, the title in some jurisdictions) is the formal title appearing at the head of a statute (such as an act of Parliament or of Congress) or other legislative instrument. The long title is intended to provide a summarised description of the purpose or scope of the instrument. Like other descriptive components of an act (such as the preamble, section headings, side notes, and short title), the long title seldom affects the operative provisions of an act, except where the operative provisions are unclear or ambiguous and the long title provides a clear statement of the legislature's intention. The short title is the formal name by which legislation may by law be cited. It contrasts with the long title which, while usual ...

Petroleum Act 1862
The Petroleum Act 1862 ( 25 & 26 Vict. c. 66) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for the safe-keeping of petroleum. Background The large-scale production of petroleum began in the United States in 1859 from oil wells in Pennsylvania. Within two years petroleum was being imported into the UK. It was estimated that in the year 1862 about 9 million gallons (40,915 m3) of petroleum oil was imported from the United States.

Petroleum (Production) Act 1918
The Petroleum (Production) Act 1918 ( 8 & 9 Geo. 5. c. 52) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which regulates the exploration and production of petroleum from underground strata. Background In the early the twentieth century, Britain imported most of its petroleum from the Middle East and America. The First World War reduced access to some of these sources and increased the demand and use of petroleum. The government wanted to develop indigenous (UK) sources of petroleum but wished to avoid ‘wildcat’ development which had taken place in the USA. Legislation was therefore required to control the petroleum industry. The regulatory regime allowed only agents of the Crown or those licensed by the Crown to search for, or produce, petroleum. Petroleum (Production) Act 1918 The Petroleum (Production) Act 1918 received royal assent on 21 November 1918. Its long title is 'An Act to make provision with respect to the searching and boring for and getting Petroleum, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Petroleum Act 1926
The Petroleum Act 1926 ( 16 & 17 Geo. 5. c. 25) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which amends and extends the Petroleum Acts 1871 and 1879.

These included the storage and use of petroleum spirit for motor vehicles, motor boats, aircraft and other engines. In 1913 the London Fire Brigade attended 50 instances of the overflow or leakage of petrol and 23 incidents of fire or explosion involving petrol. In 1920 the corresponding numbers were 77 overflows and 146 fires. It was also expedient to included other substances such as methylated spirit, ether, carbon disulphide, tetraethyl-lead used as addi ...

Petroleum (Consolidation) Act 1928
The Petroleum (Consolidation) Act 1928 (18 & 19 Geo. 5 c. 32) is a UK Act of Parliament to consolidate the enactments relating to petroleum and petroleum-spirit.
