<p>There has been no change in approach to the use of primary and secondary legislation
since the General Election. Each piece of legislation is approached within the context
of the policy and the existing legislative framework. There is no evidence of an increase
in the number of statutory instruments laid since 2010 or since the General Election.
Briefing produced by the House of Commons Library (CBP 7438) shows that the number
of statutory instruments laid before the House of Commons peaked at 1,885 in the 2005-06
session, compared to 1,378 last session and 540 so far this session.</p><p> </p>
