With its comprehensive coverage and expert analysis, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in British politics and election law.

This is a collection of two important pieces of Victorian legislation: the Explosives Act of 1883, and the Petroleum Act of 1895. These Acts were designed to regulate the use and sale of dangerous materials, and to provide for the safety of workers and the general public. Together, they represent a significant moment in the development of health and safety law in the UK, and continue to influence policy to this day. This new edition includes an introduction by a legal expert, and will be of value to lawyers, historians, and policy-makers alike.
