The Statute Law Revision (Scotland) Act 1964 (c. 80) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
It was prepared by the Statute Law Committee. It further revised the pre-Union acts of the Parliament of Scotland which had previously revised by the Statute Law Revision (Scotland) Act 1906. Its purpose was to repeal obsolete enactments, to take into account changes in the law, and to facilitate the indexing of those acts in the Chronological Table of the Statutes and the Index to the Statutes.
The bill that became this act was introduced into the House of Lords.
