Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments
The Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments (JCSI)
is appointed to consider all statutory instruments made in exercise
of powers granted by Act of Parliament. Instruments not laid
before Parliament are included within the Committee's remit; but
local instruments and instruments made by devolved administrations
do not fall to be considered by JCSI unless they are required
to be laid before Parliament.
The Joint Committee is empowered to draw the special
attention of both Houses to an instrument on any one of a number
of grounds specified in the Standing Order under which it works;
or on any other ground which does not impinge upon the merits
of the instrument or the policy behind it.
