The Gunpowder Act 1772 (12 Geo. 3. c. 61) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain that consolidated all acts relating to the making, keeping and transport of gunpowder.
In 1771, the Keeping, etc., of Gunpowder Act 1771 (11 Geo. 3. c. 35) was passed, which consolidated all laws relating to the keeping and transport of gunpowder.
Section 31 of the act repealed the Keeping, etc., of Gunpowder Act 1771 (11 Geo. 3 c. 35), as well as "all other statutes relating to the keeping and carriage of gunpowder", effective from 1 July 1772.
The Select Committee on Temporary Laws described this act as a Consolidation Act.
The whole act was repealed by section 1 of the Gunpowder Act 1860 (23 & 24 Vict. c. 139), except as to any offence or penalty incurred, which would remain as if the act had not been repealed.
