===Scotland Act 2016===
In 2016 the UK Parliament passed the [[Scotland Act 2016]] which amended the [[Scotland Act 1998]] to contain an explicit and specific legal reference to the so-called Sewel convention. Section 2 of the 2016 Act reads as follows:

{{Blockquote|'''2 The Sewel convention'''

In section 28 of the Scotland Act 1998 (Acts of the Scottish Parliament) at the end add—
"(8) But it is recognised that the Parliament of the United Kingdom will not normally legislate with regard to devolved matters without the consent of the Scottish Parliament."}}
