Delegated legislation, laws created by ministers, is complex and until recently a niche topic. Throughout the Brexit process, and more recently during the Coronavirus pandemic, the Government has made extensive use of them. To understand what delegated legislation is, and what the issues surrounding them are, Jacob Millen-Bamford speaks to Ruth Fox from Hansard Society, and Alexandra Sinclair from the Public Law Project. This is episode one of a two part series on delegated legislation.
