§ Lord Bassam of BrightonThe number of statutory instruments issued, by department, for 1998–2003 and numbered in the UK series is shown in the attached table. No breakdown is available for 1997, during which a total of 3,114 instruments were issued, as an electronic database was not implemented until 1998. The table shows the number of instruments split by those of a general and local nature. For completeness the table includes the number of instruments made by the National Assembly for Wales in relation to the devolved matters but which are issued as part of the UK statutory instrument series.
The statistics provided will in future be kept up to date on HMSOnline at www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/si-statistics.htm
