Monitor No. 12 1999

DELEGATED LEGISLATION MONITOR

This week there were 56 disallowable instruments of delegated legislation tabled in the Senate, made under 10 separate enabling Acts administered through nine Departments of State.

Of the 56 instruments, six are from the Statutory Rules series of delegated legislation, which are generally superior in drafting, presentation and access to other forms of delegated legislation. This proportion of Statutory Rules in the total number is usual, illustrating the long term trend towards the greater use of instruments in series other than the Statutory Rules. Of the 56 instruments, 11 were made by the Governor-General or Ministers and 45 were made by public officials. Of the six sets of Statutory Rules all were made as amending instruments.
