HC Deb 06 July 1999 vol 334 cc505-6W
1992 Dr. Fox

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of statutory instruments introduced by his Department into Parliament in(a) 1998, (b)(c) 1985 and (d) 1973 had the European Union as their legislative source. [89172]

Dr. Reid

The total number of statutory instruments (SIs) registered as general instruments by my Department in 1998, 1992, 1985 and 1973 is listed.

Year Number of Scottish SIs
1998 213
1992 279
1985 159
1972 159

It is not possible without incurring disproportionate cost to determine how many of these SIs were introduced to comply with European Community obligations.
