What this bill is about
The Statutory Instruments Act 1946 (Amendment) Bill would seek to change how certain “affirmative resolution” statutory instruments are handled, by allowing a draft statutory instrument to be amended by either House of Parliament before it is approved. The bill’s long title describes it as connected to amendments at that pre-approval stage, rather than changing when instruments are brought forward for approval.
What it would do
- Would seek to allow amendments to a draft statutory instrument that is subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
- Would allow either House of Parliament to amend the draft before it is approved.
- Targets the stage before approval, as described in the bill’s long title.
