The Parliament is an essential part of UK politic and has the responsibility of approving or making new laws. Before an item of legislation becomes a law, it may first be known as a bill. The bill must then be agreed by both side of the house (House of Lord & House of Common) and could also be voted against by either side, in which case it does not become a law. However, if the Common passes the bill in two successive years, it has the possibility of becoming a law without being agreed by the House of Lords. The Bill then needs to obtain Royal Assent (all new laws must be approved by the ruling monarch e.g. - the Queen), which in most cases is a formality. When it is given Royal Assent, the bill now becomes an act of Parliament.
This here is known as primary legislation, and shows the method in which Acts of parliament can become new laws. Moreover, through the use of primary legislations (Acts of parliament) other bodies are empowered to develop an existing Act of parliament and make a new law. For instance the Home Office will deal with new Acts relating to immigration by making new laws concerning immigrations. This is known as delegated legislation. However, it is very important to stress the fact that any new laws made by delegated legislation must be made in accordance or within the guideline of that particular Act.
I believe that the view expressed in the letter is incorrect to a certain extent. Even though it is true that “vast numbers of laws are made by something called delegated legislation”, those laws follow the strict guideline of Acts of Parliament that has been passed by both the House of Common and the House of Lord. In that regard, one can go as far as to claim that those laws are in fact an extended Parliamentary work because it was an Act of Parliament which created the foundation of that law and simply includes and highlights the purpose of the Act.
There are many reasons as to why delegated legislation is being used so
