Delegated Legislation

EDM number 1041 in 1992-93, proposed by Bob Cryer on 09/12/1992.

That this House notes with alarm that over three thousand statutory instruments have been issued so far in 1992 and that this quantity of delegated legislation is unprecedented in the history of Parliament; regrets that the Government is reluctant to grant time for debate on Prayers against such instruments, and that affirmative instruments can be debated even before the Joint or Select Committees exercise their scrutiny; further regrets that any change in this arbitrary and unhelpful procedure has been rejected by the Leader of the House; and concludes that the increased burden of statutory rules, regulations and orders comes from a Government dedicated to arbitrary, centralised and undemocratic control.

This motion has been signed by a total of 52 MPs.
