Delegated legislation
- Why delegated legislation is needed
- Saves time- Delegated
legislation does not take
up as much of
Parliament's time as
primary legislation (acts
of parliament) does.
- Deals with complex
issues- It uses
expertise to deal with
issues, ranging from
scientific complexity to
tax laws.
- Quick to amend- it can
be altered quickly and
easily which allows
parliament to respond
to changing conditions
e.g. re classification of
cannabis.
- Allows a fast legislative
response- can be passed
in hours in an emergency
situation allowing fast
responses to be made
like a terrorist attack.
- Allows for local needs
and concerns to be met-
Bylaws allow local
authorities to make laws
specific to local
conditions.
- Allows for updating of
primary legislation- can
be updated easily to
reflect changing
standards.
