There was an annual Expiring Laws Continuance Act. As of about 1902 or 1903, the "long schedule to" this annual Act had "been little altered, except by additions, for the last forty years".
The system of continuing temporary laws was criticised by ''The Law Times'' in 1888. Lely said there was an important debate on the Bill for the Expiring Laws Continuance Act 1902.
