I'm doing some research for a book which includes some details on the law reform in the UK. http://tinyurl.com/3yq9dm caught my eye as highly interesting.

It seems homosexuality was legalised in England and Wales, but not Scotland in July 1967, not in December as I thought. Perhaps a legal historian (Black Prince, if you're around) could check up on dates?

Was one a "Royal Assent" date and the other an Implementation Date? Do we have such things?
