Statutory Instruments Act 1946 (1946 c 36)

The Statutory Instruments Act 1946 (1946 c 36) was enacted to streamline the use and management of statutory instruments (SIs) in the UK legislative framework. It established a clear procedure for the drafting, publication, and parliamentary scrutiny of SIs, which are a form of delegated or secondary legislation. This Act aimed to enhance transparency and accessibility in the legislative process by ensuring all SIs are systematically catalogued and accessible to the public. It also introduced the requirement for parliamentary scrutiny, allowing either House of Parliament to scrutinise and, in some cases, annul SIs, ensuring democratic accountability.
