The Parliament Act 1660 (12 Cha. 2. c. 1) was an act of the Convention Parliament of England of 1660. The act declared the Long Parliament to be dissolved, and the Lords and Commons then sitting to be the two Houses of Parliament, notwithstanding that they had not been convened by the King.
Since some doubts still existed as to the validity of the act, since the Convention Parliament had not been regularly summoned by the king, the next Parliament passed further Acts, 13 Cha. 2. St. 1. cc. 7 & 14, confirming the laws passed by the previous parliament.William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England, book 1 chapter 2
