Введение
Это полный список актов Парламента Соединенного Королевства за 1940 год. Следует отметить, что первый парламент Соединенного Королевства был созван в 1801 году; парламенты в период с 1707 по 1800 год были либо парламентами Великобритании, либо парламентами Ирландии. Для актов, принятых до 1707 года, обратитесь к списку актов Парламента Англии и списку актов Парламента Шотландии. Для актов, принятых с 1707 по 1800 год, обратитесь к списку актов Парламента Великобритании. См. также список актов Парламента Ирландии. Для актов децентрализованных парламентов и ассамблей Соединенного Королевства обратитесь к списку актов Шотландского парламента, списку актов Северо-Ирландской ассамблеи и списку актов и мер Senedd Cymru; см. также список актов Парламента Северной Ирландии. Число, указанное после названия каждого акта, является его номером главы. Акты, принятые до 1963 года, цитируются с использованием этого номера, предваряемого годом (или годами) правления, в течение которого проходила соответствующая парламентская сессия; таким образом, Закон о союзе с Ирландией 1800 года цитируется как "39 & 40 Geo. 3 c. 67", что означает 67-й акт, принятый в ходе сессии, начавшейся в 39-й год правления Георга III и завершившейся в 40-й год его правления. Следует отметить, что современная практика заключается в использовании арабских цифр в цитированиях (например, "41 Geo. 3", а не "41 Geo. III"). Акты последней сессии Парламента Великобритании и первой сессии Парламента Соединенного Королевства цитируются одинаково как "41 Geo. 3". Акты, принятые с 1963 года, цитируются просто по календарному году и номеру главы.

This is a complete list of acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for the year 1940. Note that the first parliament of the United Kingdom was held in 1801; parliaments between 1707 and 1800 were either parliaments of Great Britain or of Ireland. For acts passed up until 1707, see the list of acts of the Parliament of England and the list of acts of the Parliament of Scotland. For acts passed from 1707 to 1800, see the list of acts of the Parliament of Great Britain. See also the list of acts of the Parliament of Ireland. For acts of the devolved parliaments and assemblies in the United Kingdom, see the list of acts of the Scottish Parliament, the list of acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly, and the list of acts and measures of Senedd Cymru; see also the list of acts of the Parliament of Northern Ireland. The number shown after each act's title is its chapter number. Acts passed before 1963 are cited using this number, preceded by the year(s) of the reign during which the relevant parliamentary session was held; thus the Union with Ireland Act 1800 is cited as "39 & 40 Geo. 3 c. 67", meaning the 67th act passed during the session that started in the 39th year of the reign of George III and which finished in the 40th year of that reign. Note that the modern convention is to use Arabic numerals in citations (thus "41 Geo. 3" rather than "41 Geo. III"). Acts of the last session of the Parliament of Great Britain and the first session of the Parliament of the United Kingdom are both cited as "41 Geo. 3". Acts passed from 1963 onwards are simply cited by calendar year and chapter number.
