The act was repealed in a later Parliament of the same year as the knights of the shires claimed it had not passed the House of Commons.
The act was extended to Ireland by Poynings' Law 1495 (10 Hen. 7. c. 22 (I)).
The whole act was repealed for England and Wales by section 6 of the Act of Supremacy 1558 (1 Eliz. 1. c. 1).

The whole statute, of which this chapter was a part, except chapter 4, was repealed for Ireland by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law (Ireland) Revision Act 1872 (35 & 36 Vict. c. 98), which came into force on 10 August 1872.
