The Ecclesiastical Licences Act 1533 (25 Hen. 8. c. 21), also known as the Dispensations Act 1533, Peter's Pence Act 1533 or the Act Concerning Peter's Pence and Dispensations, is an act of the Parliament of England. It was passed by the English Reformation Parliament in the early part of 1534 and outlawed the payment of Peter's Pence and other payments to Rome. The act remained partly in force in Great Britain at the end of 2010. It is under section III of this act, that the Archbishop of Canterbury can award a Lambeth degree as an academic degree.
