The Controls

[CLARE MARIE ?!]

Parliament can give you the power to make a law, but they can also take it away again. This is rare, and only happens if there has been a serious power abuse taken place.




Parliament asks that who ever makes the delegated leglisation to put that law before parliament for 40 days. if no-one objects then it will become law. But, if anyone complains about the law then there will have to be a debate.




This is where when a delegated leglisation is made, it has to be voted on and the majourity wins before it becomes law. This control is rare as parliament do not have the time to debate and vote over it - this is the reason they give out the powers in the first place.



works in the house of lords and was set up in 1993.

It's main job is to check delegated laws and enabling acts to make sure that the powers given out to make laws wasn't given out without thought, or incorrectly.

e.g to make sure people don't abuse their power.
they will report their findings to the house of lords before the commitee stage.



the committee's job is to look at all the stautory instruments that are created. They make sure that ministers are doing their job correctly, and only doing what they are supposed to do. If they find a problem, they then refer the statutory instrument back to parliament. Parliament will then check it and if there is a problem, they will then revoke it.



This act allows a minister to change an act of parliament as long as they consult the people whom it will affect. However, if the minister wants to do this, then any changes must be approved by parliament by either negative, or positive, resolution procedure. This act also created a Super Affirmative Resolution Procedure which gives parliament more control, because the minister making the law must take into account recommendations and opinions from parliament.
