Weekly Information Bulletin: 25th January 2003
DELEGATED LEGISLATION
STATUTORY INSTRUMENTS
The most common form of delegated legislation, or secondary legislation, is Statutory Instruments. Those requiring parliamentary approval are subject to either the affirmative or negative procedure: this is explained in HCIO Factsheet L7.
The laying of Orders before the House of Commons is recorded in the Statutory Instrument List published by the Journal Office: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmsilist/cmsilist.htm. This list records when Orders were laid and in the case of affirmative instruments, whether a motion for their approval has been tabled. In the case of Negative Instruments, the number of praying days left (in which a motion calling for the instrument to be annulled may be laid) is noted.
DEREGULATION ORDERS AND REGULATORY REFORM PROPOSALS AND DRAFT ORDERS:
PROCEEDINGS AS AT 25 JANUARY 2003
|
Under the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 (s 3(3)) and the Regulatory Reform Act 2001 (s 6(1)) the Government is able to make Orders to amend or repeal provisions in primary legislation, which are considered to impose a burden on businesses or others, which could be reduced or removed without removing any necessary protection. |
|
The Regulatory Reform Act replaced the equivalent provisions in the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994,, but allowed proceedings on Deregulation Orders which had started before the passage of that Act to continue.
For an explanation of Parliamentary consideration of Deregulation Orders, see HCIO Factsheet No L7
