The Statute of York (Latin: Statutum Eborac') or the Revocation of the New Ordinances (Latin: Revocatio novarum Ordinationum) was an act of the Parliament of England passed in 1322 that repealed the Ordinances of 1311 and prevented any similar provisions from being established. Academics argue over the actual impact of the bill, but general consensus is that it made the idea that the House of Commons should be consulted on all matters of general interest. The statute is seen as "the end of a period of revolutionary experiments in English government", with no Ordinances ever attempted again.
