DIY Plumbing and electrical changes due soon, help please
From: John Rumm )
This government is very fond of the "statutory instrument". This is "enabling legislation" that allows for just this type of behaviour, once it is in place, you can then sweep through additional annual changes with far less scrutiny than is required for primary legislation. IIRC it was usualy used to allow things like budgets to be automatically enacted each year, but seems to be getting far more use as a way of "burying" unpopular legislation out of conspicuous public view. Would you say this is consistent with the basic concept of democracy? NT |
