Part of Delegated Legislation – in the House of Commons at 10:14 pm on 6 July 2026.
Delegated legislation is law made by ministers under powers deriving from Acts of Parliament.

They enable the government to make minor, technical changes to the law without having to introduce a whole new Act of Parliament.
