The Keeping, etc., of Gunpowder Act 1771 (11 Geo. 3. c. 35) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain that consolidated all acts relating to the keeping and transport of gunpowder.
Over time, statutes regulating the keeping and transport of gunpowder had grown in volume, and no regulations were made for Scotland, resulting in the desire for consolidation of such acts for Great Britain.
Section 13 of the act repealed 5 enactments, effective from 1 August 1771.
The whole act was repealed by section 31 of the Gunpowder Act 1772 (12 Geo. 3. c. 61) in the following parliamentary session, which replaced all the provisions of the act with the addition of regulations relating to the making of gunpowder. The Select Committee on Temporary Laws described that act as a Consolidation Act.
