The Sale of Gas Act 1860 (23 & 24 Vict. 146) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which amends certain provisions made under the Sale of Gas Act 1859 (22 & 23 Vict. 66).
The Sale of Gas Act 1859 entitled 'An Act for regulating Measures used in Sales of Gas' required certain models of measures to be used. Since this act came into force, delays occurred in preparing these measures. Consequently, it was necessary to delay the coming into force of the provisions of the cited act of 1859.
