In this paper the researcher shall highlight some of the major issues related to the concept of Parliamentary Sovereignty. The most widely known definition of Parliamentary supremacy is coined by Dicey, which presents the extent of the powers of Parliament. Yet, the concept of Parliamentary supremacy in practice is opposed to theory given by Dicey and raises many important issues. Perhaps the most important of those issues was raised in the case of R (Jackson) v Attorney General in which the validity of the Parliament Act 1949 was questioned. Although the judges decided that the Act was valid, the differing views offered by the judges suggested that the courts are yet to completely rule out the rigid theory of Dicey in favour of the non-orthodox approach. This study will examine the concept of Parliamentary supremacy considering recent advancements which seek to reduce the extent to which it can be deemed as supreme.

Keywords: - Parliamentary sovereignty, Dicey, Constitution, Parliamentary Supremacy.
