Central records of statutory instruments made under specific powers have only been maintained by the Statutory Instruments Registrar since 2001. A record has been maintained since that time of statutory instruments made under powers in the European Communities Act 1972 in order to meet obligations arising from European Union law, but no record has been maintained of statutory instruments made under other legislation in order to meet such obligations. There are no central records maintained of “other regulations”. Since 2001 the Department has made 139 statutory instruments in order to meet obligations arising from EU Law, under powers contained in the European Communities Act 1972. A list of those instruments has been placed in the Library.
It would incur disproportionate cost to retrieve details of all such instruments since 1997.
