Of these four, or about 6.9%, corrected errors in a previous instrument (including one that supersedes an instrument laid in draft).</p><p> </p><p>In addition one instrument was laid that replaced an instrument that had been previously laid but which did not correspond precisely with the instrument as made.</p><p> </p><p>Correcting instruments are something that all legal teams try to avoid. The Department for Transport devotes significant resources to checking draft statutory instruments and to the continuing education of drafters, both informally, for example by using more experienced drafters to mentor less experienced drafters, and through more formal training at departmental level and under the aegis of the Government Legal Service. The Department is also represented on a cross-Whitehall group of drafting specialists which exists to act as a point of contact and facilitate the sharing of best practice and it is participating in a review of statutory instrument drafting arrangements in an enlarged shared legal service led by the Treasury Solicitor’s Department.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 30/07/2014 11:01:07 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
