The scope of Statute Law Revision Bills is confined to the repeal of obsolete, spent, unnecessary or superseded enactments. The Bill for the Statute Law Revision Act 1892 contains the following note, which describes the classes of enactments repealed by that Act. Certain other Statute Law Revision Bills contain similar notes as they repealed similar classes of enactments. Enactments repealed by Statute Law Revision Acts include enactments which had become totally inoperative from having been impliedly repealed.

The ''Westbury'' saving

The ''Westbury'' saving, named for its proponent
Lord Westbury Baron Westbury, of Westbury in the County of Wiltshire, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 27 June 1861 for the lawyer and Liberal politician Sir Richard Bethell on his appointment as Lord Chancellor, a post he ...
, was an increasingly complex saving provision that was included in all Statute Law Revision Acts from 1861 until 1953, and which reached its final standardised form in the Statute Law Revision (No. 2) Act 1888. The reason for its inclusion was as a precautionary measure, intended to prevent any substantive changes to the law arising out of any repeals and to confine the Acts to the administrative function of clearing dead wood from the statute book. As well as explicitly preventing any repeal from affecting the interpretation of any statute still in force, it also retained any right, benefit, claim, liability, principle of law and court jurisdiction that had previously arisen under a repealed Act. This was much broader than the general saving provisions that had been introduced in 1850 that applied to all repeals. Although the Interpretation Act 1889 greatly expanded the 1850 general saving provision, the ''Westbury'' saving continued to be inserted into Statute Law Revision Acts, as the 1889 Act did not provide that any principle of law or court jurisdiction arising under an Act would be retained on its repeal. However, the ''Westbury'' saving's complexity and wide reach gave it a reputation for making the law uncertain and inaccessible (due to the fact that the repealed provisions would not be included in any revised edition of the statutes). House of Lords and House of Commons. (21 May 1958). "Seventh Report by the Joint Committee of the House of Lords and of the House of Commons appointed to consider all Consolidation Bills (including Bills for consolidating Private Acts), Statute Law Revision Bills and Bills presented under the Consolidation of Enactments (Procedure) Act, 1949, in the Present Session being a report upon the Statute Law Revision Bill (H.L.) together with proceedings of the committee and minutes of evidence". (H.L. 5-VI; 108-I, H.C. 209-I) pp. 2-3. As a result, it was not included in any Act after the
