Delegated Legislation - What types are there, and how are they made?

4 Dec 2023

The UK-wide legislature is the Westminster Parliament, and the devolved nations of the UK also have their own legislatures: the Scottish Parliament, the Senedd Cymru (Welsh Parliament) and the Northern Ireland Assembly. [...] 3.2 Devolved delegated legislation The main types of delegated legislation made by the executives of the devolved nations of the UK are: • Scottish Statutory Instruments (shown in blue in Diagram C): these are made by the Scottish Government using powers in parent Acts of either the UK or the Scottish Parliament. [...] The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), for example, have powers under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 to make rules about the conduct of people and businesses in the financial sector, and to impose sanctions if those rules are broken. [...] Lists of papers laid before Parliament each day can be found towards the end of the daily Votes and Proceedings in the House of Commons’ Business Papers and in the House of Lords Business Papers. [...] • Church Measures (shown in black in Diagram G): these are a form of primary legislation made by the General Synod of the Church of England.
